Besides, anyone who will poo poo on your C7 because it's 'just a Stingray' probably isn't going to feel any different just because it's a Z51.

Those who dismiss your Stingray are ignorant; they do not appreciate what a great car it is, Z51 or not.
As to your question as to whether someone might unscrew and run off with them, it is possible. Once in a while someone posts their hook(s) was stolen but it is uncommon.
Again, do what brings you maximum enjoyment of your car.

I'd leave them in. I've never thought twice about someone stealing them. Actually, I've never given it any thought. Tow hooks are fine as long as they are high quality and functional.

If the tow hooks are only installed for the car show, no big deal. If installed all the time, it’s not a look I care for.

Yeah, there is that.
I think I’ll wear my fire suit and driving shoes to the next car show so people think I’m cool.

I think the tow hook looks bad *** on the front of the Vette. I'd leave it on. I need to get some,but I want them in Yellow, which seems hard to find. My brother and I saw one on the front of a Z06 and he said what is that? I said a hook so the car can be towed.. He said, it looks cool.. I agreed.
