Default Stingray fenders -- did you replace or delete the fish?

I've recently replaced my chrome 'fish' on my Stingray's front fenders with black emblems.

I like the black 'fish' better on my Torch Red car, but am curious to see what others have done.

-Kept the chrome?
-Carbon Fiber look?
-Replaced with some other emblem?
-Deleted the emblem and left the fender clean?

Let's see what you've done with your fish!

PO had it removed when clear bra applied to fenders. I bought Carbon Flash version to replace when I bought the car but decided I liked the look without so left them off.

I left mine the way it came from the factory. Since my car is Blade Silver, I think it looks pretty good.

The chrome stingray emblem pays homage to the stingray emblem on the flanks of the 1959 Corvette XP-87 Sting ray Racer - Zora says no touch.

I have the carbons flash 5-piece emblem set. I'm waiting until I get the film put on the front before swapping them all out.

Always debated between removing them or keeping them.

I removed them the first week after I bought the car and just before I got a set of OEM GM chrome wheels. Also took off the rear lettering but decided to put them back on. The fish are still off. And will stay off.

I like the 'clean' look...

My Stingrays are still on the car but somewhere down the line I plan to change out the wheels and at that time, the Stingrays will be gone. I like the cleaner look without them.
I do like the addition of the script "Stingray". If the factory had done it that way, I would leave all of it. But they didn't.
