Default Carbon fiber paint matched Z06 emblems installed

Big shout out to Pat @ American Hydrocarbon.

These turned out amazing and look great on the car. Simple little 30 min install and a whole new look.

It's the little things

I actually prefer the stock chrome emblem. Maybe it's because my Z06 is red and the red lettering on the emblem seems to blend in perfectly. Either way, the carbon fiber emblem you have doesn't look bad at all. If you're happy with it then good deal!!!

Looks cool for sure, I think I like the stock ones better though.... Maybe if the car had CF skirts and stuff it would stand out better...Can you share a pic from a further distance?

Nooooo! Should have left it red, it perfectly matched your calipers, the carbon fiber is very cool though.

Looking at options for Powdercoating the calipers. Been leaning towards gloss black. Or, possibly, color matching them.

A little different twist. My logos are CF from a forum vendor out of Europe.
