Default Black C7 Stingray emblem on front fender

I have a black 2016 Vette and it has the black C7 stingray emblems that came on it and everyone says I need to change them to chrome. The black ones do not show up on the Vette? Please advise

Black ones look fantastic on a black C7.

I'm a bit biased though...

My black C7 had chrome emblems and I changed them to black (Carbon Flash actually). I like the look, but it is your car, do what makes you happy.

It is your car, so do what makes you feel good. I happen to like the slight addition of a little bling on a black car.

A matter of simply which look you prefer.

My black one came with chrome emblems and I changed them out to the black ones. Looks much better black IMO. No in your face flashy bits on a black car.

A little flash on a black car stands out, unless you want it all murdered out, which I also like.

First mod I made was swapping the chrome for carbon flash. If interested, I have the chrome available, PM me.

You know perfectly well that if you had chrome everyone would be telling you to switch to black. FWIW, I believe that the black emblems are the extra cost options.

As you can't see them from the driver's seat, I think it makes absolutely no difference. Change only if you're bored and itching to make a change for the sake of making a change.

Just put the one you like on the car. I prefer the chrome ones myself.

Your car may have the carbon blackout package. My black 17 Z51 has those stingrays blacked out and the corvette flags front and back are darkened down. I love the look. My question is why don't you do what you like instead of someone else telling you what you need to do. Tell them to get their own corvette.

Is "everyone" making your car payments?
