I moved up from a C5 to a C6. Both verts and both yellow. I found a LS3 with the Z51 package, had about 11,500 miles. Car has the GM mark of excellence badge just in front of the rear wheel. I built several projects for Joe Lukason, you can do a search on him, that had numerous muscle cars including a Nickey, an LS6 Chevelle vert and the 62 hand made vette that was the 63 concept car.

The Nickey had the letter emblems on it and I got thinking about my C6. So I made some letter/number emblems on my computer and had a sign shop cut me out some letters. Not so big that they jump out but IMO just enough to pic some curiosity.

I would put 430HP centered over the top of the Chiclet and MN6 or A6 underneath.
And don't forget to paint the Corvette logo on the back bumper and the dash. One last thing...put a big
banner across the windshield.
Sorry, sometimes I just can't help myself.
It's your car...do with it as you wish.

Did you take off the GM chicklets and put them back on top of some kind of clear base? Mine came off early in life but I don't remember the clear base in your pics...

And I think it's Cuique..

Looks like a clear stone chip was put on around it. You can see the wax / dirt build up at all edges. My stripes had the same build up when I took them off.

Car came with the vinyl clearcoat that was cut around the GM badge. And yes, it is Cuique, cudos to the professor.

I removed my chicklets. Between the weight savings and the cleaner aero, I gained .00067 MPH top end and .000038 MPG on the highway. Then I doubled down and took off the door handles, and replaced the nose flag emblem with a decal.

BTW, to the OP, welcome to the C6 side. We tend to goof off a bit too.

If you have an NPP, include that in the options side with the Z51.
