Default Pics of debadged (front bumper) C7's?

does anyone have a picture of their car (ideally white) with the front emblem removed, filled and painted?

edit: I did it. Pictures on the next page.

I'm proud of my crossed flags....I don't get the de-badging thing, but to each his own.

I don't think I've ever seen that. Now I'm curious as to what that would look like.

I love it. Worth the cost if my bumper cover doesn't need to be replaced? Probably not.

Just like a Ferrari is not a Ferrari if it's not RED, a Corvette is not a Corvette without "Crossed Flags"! So do not seriously consider it. A cool adult beverage of any type will help remove it from your mind. Pat

I'm ok with the flags but could do without the word corvette on the back.

They are easy to remove. Some fishing line, some Goof-Off and a little patience is all it takes.

Jeez, mine has been under the cover all winter, but I seem to remember the front flags sit in a depression in the front bumper cover. If true, I would think the depression without the badge would not look good.

I never understood why people remove all the badges to de-identify the brand and type of car while disassociating the car with the great heritage of American Muscle! That said, people can do what they want with their property but why even buy any car to de-badge it! I sorta, kinda, not really get that it might be more of style as the reason.... so in that spirit of thought, we all can mod our car how we want but I personally want people to not guess what it is but know that its that good old American Muscle "Corvette" represented by the Cross-Flags! Just Sayin!

Few people would require a crossed flags emblem to notice that it's a Corvette.

1) it's 100% stylistic. It looks cleaner.

2) If you can't identify the car as a corvette without the crossed flags, you can't identify the crossed flags.
