Would it be improper to display the engine size for this base model on hood or front fender? Or, would it look “tacky” being that all it is is a base Ls2 engine? I ordered 2 small chrome and red badges for hood or fender but don’t want people to make fun of it. Thanks
Z06/ZR1 lol.. I mean, the base itself is a beautiful car, don't get me wrong I love it. But I wouldn't go struttin around saying 'look at my 6.0 ls2/ls3 or whatever because it's well... nothing special.. People respect it for what it is already. When you boast (not you in particular, just in general) about something basic, it gives off bad vibes in my opinion which make it look 'tacky'. Now if your car had 1000 horsepower and what insane, then do what you want because you can back it up you know what I mean? It's like when people vinyl wrap their civic or veloster bright green. Like other's have said, your car, do what you want but that's just how I see it!
Well.. as far as I know..the LS2 was the only engine available in 2005. Personally I wouldn't add them on mine, body looks better to me plain jane. Hey, your car..a lot of owners don't care for the Corvette chromed flag differential cover plate either..but I do have one of those..it floats my boat so it's on..happy Trails my friend
Tacky for sure! Many years ago my friend bought a new 409 Chevy. He covered up the emblem on the side of the car with masking tape. . He then looked around to race cars.
Thanks, really didn’t know the lingo, understand fully. However, I am proud of what I do have. It runs good too. Added cold air intake, magnaflow exhaust, performance programming. It’s not a z06 or zr2, but it’s enough horsepower for me. Thanks a lot for your reply.

MOST people don't know the difference between a base, a GS, a Z or a 1000 HP car, they just know that the C6 (ALL C6's) are beautiful cars. Now another C6 owner MIGHT know the difference...I've never had anyone walk up to me and say "Gee, that's a nice car but it's ONLY a base C6?", on the other hand I've had probably a 1000 people walk up to me and say "That's a beautiful car!". OP, it's your car, do what you like, you'll get a ton of opinions on this. Bottom line is whatever makes you happy...

Your car speaks for it self but if you like it go ahead do it. I have a base c6 with no mods and people say "nice car" all the time.
My 05 has the LS2 on my plate frame. Interestingly, my lowly LS2 routinely wins awards at car shows when lined up against every vette gen/model. I don't use it to street race so I guess if that was important to me I would have to buy a dodge demon so I wouldn't have to hang my head.
