Default C7 Z51 emblems

Has anyone added the C7 Z51 emblem styled after the C7 Z06 to their Stingray? I like the styling of this emblem and the red/stainless steel look with black background. This emblem is by emblempros.com
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.

Do they send you 1 or 2 emblems because if it is on the side of the car like the picture shown it would look odd with only 1 side having the emblem. However, one is only needed if you put it on the rear of the car.

Quality is good. I went with the left rear, because that is where they placed the ZR1 emblem. Get ready, you should get about 50-60 posts of bashers telling you not to do it, Z51 doesn't need a badge, Z51 is just an base car option, badges are worthless, ect...

IMO, Z51 is a significant performance package (wheels, tires, brakes, drysump, e-diff, suspension, tranny/diff coolers, ect...) So why not be proud that you stood up and went for the performance

I like the left rear location; that looks good. Lots of opinions on this board, but personalizing cars on day two of ownership has been going on since the early days of the muscle car wars. Adding a callout badge is no different than adding aftermarket wheels or other mods. Make it yours - your opinion is the only one that counts.

Since Z51 is just an option package and not a model, I decided to show off all options on mine, so I laminated the window sticker to the rear bumper cover.

I've contemplated these badges. How about above the back of the side skirts (on the car body).

What were they thinking? Don't they know that Z71 is "just an Option package". Oh, the humanity!

If you put the new Z06 badging on your Z51, it'll go faster too....
