Default Steering wheel candy

Made a tiny addition to the steering wheel tonight. Thoughts?

Not sure why the z51 guys feel the need to label it.

Funny you should post this up now.

I just ordered and installed my Z51 sticker a few days ago. At first, I had one a little bigger than what I now have, illustrated below. I decided I liked the smaller one better. Yours looks good...it’s different than what I’ve seen before.

I agree. When I had my 14 Z51, I removed Corvette from the rear, and the fish from the sides. Not a fan of anything on the car, wanted to remove flags front and rear but there would be indentations.

Maybe a reason Chevy forgot.

However to each there own. If you like it, do it, its your car.

I love my car as is, fish on the sides and the badges it came with from the factory. For whatever reason these add on stickers look tacky to me, the only decal I put on the entire car was the Mobil 1 under the hood. Having said that, you've worked hard to pursue your dream and can do whatever you please since it's your car, so by all means enjoy it.

I like it a lot. Where can I get that decal?
I want one for the outside of my Stingray, too.

Get a K&N Air Filter sticker for the back window to compliment it, and you'll be good to go.
