Hidden Corvette logos
Found a couple... one etched into each of the headlight housings if you look towards the top and a bunch of them comprise the dot matrix on the rear windshield.
Nice touches, any others I'm missing?

Been a ton of threads about this. There are hundreds of flags all over the car (if you have a coupe, many of them are in the rear glass)

The Z06 Z07 package spoiler clear wickerbill has one too. When doing the tour at the museum, they showed many parts will have the logo on them for copyright protection. It ensures that those are genuine parts being used.

Don't have my car yet so pardon my ignorance. Can you explain this a little more? Not sure I understand this one.

The logo (flags) are embossed on the hoodliner. So if moisture condenses on the outside of the hood (due to the dew point of the air), many times (as the embossed flags are in contact with the interior side of the hood and as they're compressed, they're not as good an insulator), due to difference surface temps, the condensation will form around that "imprint" of the embossed flags and voila!

They are putting the logos (Bowtie on my DD) on most if not all models to prevent cheap knockoff parts.
