Default Too much?

Style is in the eye of the person buying but I'd like opinions. Is Carbon fiber (Hydro) emblems too much ? That would be the flags, stingrays, and corvette lettering.

Not at All!!!
Or go all the way and go totally stealth, omit the stingrays, corvette lettering and just stay with the flags (have to because they are indented into the bodywork and would look terrible without them)

IMO? Yes.

I don't want any carbon fibered areas of my C7. Inside, or out.

It's not my cup of tea, but if you like it, go for it! Personalize it just the way you like it!

Those are small areas that should not overpower the car, IMHO.

You can NEVER have too much Carbon Fiber (or Hydro Carbon Fiber).

Some tastefully done carbon fiber trim/emblems is not too much at all; it is, in fact, a welcome change.

THIS is too much everything:



About the only thing that isn't too much in this pic is the carbon fiber.

Well ... I don't know about THAT!

To the OP: like anything else that's subjective, it's all a matter of personal taste. I'm not a CF guy, but I can understand its appeal.

Carbon flash painted, yes. Real carbon fiber, yes. Hydrodipped fake carbon fiber? No.

I like water transfer graphics and think it's a cool technique but I cringe every time I see that fake cf hydrodip. Even the vinyl fake carbon fiber looks better, in my opinion.
