Default 427 hood emblems
Just bought a 2008 Z06 and it has the 427 emblems on the hood. What is the general opinion...cool or lame? I'm kind of on the fence here but they would look real cool stuck to my work toolbox.

I kind of like the look with them off so they will probably get removed. Just wanted opinions. Thanks!

Love mine, I bought a set that are black inserts instead of red and it looks perfect with my Inferno Orange Z07, due to all of the black aero trim and roof.

I don't think it's lame at all. I love them there - it looks great. Some think there should be nothing on the car, no Z06 badges, no Corvette emblems, no 427's. I think the 427's should have been put on at the factory - there will be no more 7 liter engines ever again in a Corvette. These C6 Z06's are like no others and the LS7 is a major reason for it.

That's one of the reasons that I bought the car! Other than the LS7 in between the fender wells. Mine are stayin put!
