Default Z51 badges for C7 - still looking
Looking for a website company who sells these - I'm fussy, so it's got to be the right one. Also, where are most C7 owners placing them? Saw one somewhere and it was placed just below the Stingray badge - not bad

I'm looking also. Ive seen the little "stickers" on the side vent like the Z06 logos but most I have seen are coming off. Bad adhesion I guess.

I put one on the side vent. I like it because it's a subtle detail. Mines been on for over a year with no issues:

They fall off if you drive your Corvette in inclement weather. I'm happy to say mine are perfect and pristine!

I'm not a badge hater but... If its not really a Z51, then why the badge?

Most people don't know the difference between a Stingray and a Z06 so the badge doesn't help there. Those that do know the difference will laugh.

I know this is off topic a bit, but we are discussing emblems and badging.

I'm thinking of replacing the Fish Emblem with the 1974-1976 Stingray Script.

Does anyone know where I can get the side emblem for the 1974-1976 Stingray Script without the pins on the back. I'm looking to find it with 3M adhesive on the back, so it becomes a stick-on.

Default Not a fan but mild in comparison.....
.......my son who is a Subaru STi owner (among a couple of other cars he races for fun and a rush) and I went to a Ford dealer to test drive a Focus RS......I have never, ever seen a vehicle with more "markings" (RS logo) than that little blue beast.......

I couldn't agree more... And for the record, I have a Z51, and cant find a Z51 logo anywhere except the window sticker.

my neighbour had the sticker on the side vent... it looked OEM and when i started looking at Z-51's in the showroom, i wondered where their sticker was... thought it was an option. Needless to say, just that little sticker on the side vent is more than enough. It's really for the casual corvette fan that you see at carshows...

Don't give a dam what others think - I will put a Z51 badge on
my new '16 and yes, it's a real Z51. The badge is for my own
visual satisfaction. Who would place the badge on a non-Z equipped
Corvette? ....I can only imagine
