On or off, it's your C7 so do what makes you happy. I like the badge and I like it on the right side of my 2014 Vin # 1525

To each there own, I do not like badges. Took the fish off the side and corvette off the back.

Other than Corvette people most do not know what Z-51 is, and I sure have no need to let everyone know. Heck mine is a 3LT Z-51, and could care less if everyone thinks its a base care at about 17K less

Could not find any threat that addressed this particular emblem. (Must not be a forum vendor)
Question 1.: What is the quality of the emblem (It is supposed to be laser cut mirror stainless steel with UV rated plastics)
Question 2: What is recommended best area on 2015 AW Z51 vert to apply this emblem?
(All pix I have seen place it on each side behind the front wheel where the Stingray emblem is located; We do NOT want to remove the Stingray emblem on our car. Any thoughts on placing the Z51 emblem elsewhere? This emblem is 6" long and .09" tall. Does anyone in this forum have any photographs of where they placed their Z51 emblems?
Question 3: We have red calipers on our AW C7 with chrome wheels; any idea whether the red color in the Z of this emblem pretty well matches the red of the GM calipers which look like torch red? I asked the manufactuer this question . Answer was just red. (Attached is a pix of this emblem the manufacturer sent me)


Any constructive thoughts would be highly appreciated especially on quality of this emblem. Thanks to all form experts.

The location of the emblem is crooked and to far forward. Needs adjusting.

Default z51 chrome center caps

I got the little side vent z51 stickers from vettfx.com, and am also considering these z51 chrome center caps (link below) and/or C7-"c7 z06 style" z51 bullet emblem for left rear.

^^^I'm all for personalizing a car... adding decals, badging, or whatever as long as it's not posing, but adding emblems on both sides of the bumper is a bit much IMO

Hopefully, the only two decals I have on my car don't make me a poser. In this case, they came as a pair when purchased off eBay. I used them both, and it looks balanced to me with one on each side. The neat thing about decals is you can remove them or one of them. Who knows I maybe I'll remove one of them after looking at it for a bit...not sure what side I would remove though.

To each his/her own.

I think this looks very nice on your car. I'm considering the same badge on my white convertible. Probably put it on the left side...

Well, I agree that they are large, but not obnoxiously so... if they were centered between the door and the vent it would look better, imho....

The wonderful thing about this, is that it is YOUR car, and you should make it the way YOU want it...opinions from a bunch of old guys should not be worth a glass of spit-mine included. Have fun with your car...
