I like those badges , but I would not put them on the fenders. Maybe just one on the rear fascia, this way it looks stock until you pass them.

Not a bad looking badge but probably better on the hood than above the Grand Sport badge. However, I would probably keep it a sleeper.

Kidding aside, I've always been a "sleeper" guy.

It's your car, do what you want to it. If you look for everyone else's approval, you will simply become a mirror of them and lose your individuality.

Tasteful spot for that might be on the license plate frame..... That way you'd still keep the car clean/original, but have your emblem.... No one is gonna shame ya for that....

Would look a lot better if you added on of these on Top of those.!!!

I took your advice ... No stinkin' badges on the side of the car !

But just one on the rear ... Just for now anyway

Oh, that's too bad...on an otherwise really nice looking car.

But think about how much nicer it's going to look when you get past the "just for now anyway" stage.

I like the semi stealth look. Badge painted in carbon flash metallic with matte clear.

Ok ... No Good ? ?

The Grand Sport fender emblem on the car:

I posted this in another thread but it seems to fit here. We were driving south on I5 Thanksgiving evening after spending the day with my daughter and family. Somewhere around Capistrano a white wide body C6 passed us. I caught up to look and below the C6 flag on the rear bumper the owner had installed Stingray script. When I got beside him I saw he had installed 427 above the Grand Sport badge.

This badge is available at West Coast Corvette for $90 each. 7" x .5" and different colors I think it would look good on the hood buldge where a lot of guys put the "427" badge
