That has always been my take on why so many think it is a cool thing to stick on their car.
To me it is just an option, like navigation.

Not a fan. My car had Z51 badges on the front fender where the Z06 badge usually goes. They were installed by one of the previous owners and I took them off the next day.

Why did Chevy not put a zo6 or GS badge on the rear? Because it doesn't fit the design of the rear. the C4 zr1 model have body lines that the badge fit into so it looked good the c6 doesn't. Any badge stuck on the rear looks like an afterthought, regardless of what trim level or option.

I think it is because Chevy uses Z for a lot of their higher end products as a model number. Z71 for trucks, Z28 for Camaro's, Z06 and Z71 on Corvettes. There are probably more that I am missing.

I think the bigger problem is your license plate. Can't read it at all. What will State Trooper Adolf say? Just playin... Badge is not tacky. Like it? Keep it.

Tell everyone to go jump off a bridge and do what you want with your Vette. Quit worrying about what everyone else thinks. You'll drive yourself nuts. That's why I seldom post pics on here.

.....except for those who start a post titled - "Is This Tacky?" as then he wants input. I also agree about the pics. I will only post pics of parts or components. Even then, you'll get all sorts of input wanted or not. In the end, there are so many personalized mods one can do to a Vette, there will always be yays/nays on everything. I truly do mods for me, and no one else.

No badges needed. the Z-51 option is an RPO production code, not a model. No one but serious Corvette people would know what it is anyway. Those of us that know aren't usually big fans.
