Default Alternative Replacement for Stingray Emblem
Just curious, anyone has any suggestions, if any, to the metallic guitar-looking Stingray emblem on the side of the car...?

No Flaming, pls, from those hard-core guitar lovers...

An LT1 badge or Z51 badge (if you have a z51) would look nice.

You know I always say it's your money it's your choice. I use the new carbon flash stingray emblem you might like that. Or you can easily remove the offending logo. You paid for the car do whatever you like.

Both Porsche and Ferarri have yellow cloisonne badging. What if we paint the chrome fish yellow and leave it where it is? I'll try and show with pictures below!

Doesn't work for me, I'm afraid.

I like the black fish badge. If I didn't, I think I'd just remove it and put nothing there.

Black fish works on light colors but not on dark! On dark colors either leave it chrome - paint it - or take it off!

Fair enough, but I've seen the black on an NRB and I liked the subtle look. I guess my point is really that I'd either leave the fish badge, in what ever color you prefer, or remove it and leave that space blank.

Or a Stingray emblem painted silver (versus the chrome one) would look good.

It's a sticker I believe. Some vendor on here sells it for like $35-40 per pair.
