I used to remove the badges. A real pita on the older cars like my SS 409 Chevelle.

Although I don't ordinarily remove badges, I did remove the "CORVETTE" writing on the rear bumper of my car.
A much cleaner look IMO.

I did also, both cleaner looking and easier to keep the fascia clean. And maybe, LOL, that is why two folks at different times came up to me while I was detailing it, and asked, “is that a Ferrari?”

Removed the script from the rear. Left the fishes on the side of the Z.

If they are real pictures, well, they are real pictures, just can't be sure of what. But if they are real, it looks like it will probably look good. The front end actually is comparable in design quality as the front end I designed for 5.7LSleeper. So it will probably look good.

Hopefully, there won't be a repeat here. The last thing the mods want to do is lock a thread.

I foresee another doomed thread sadly. The paint shop pictures are very interesting to see.

Love these taillamps. I know many don't but they fit the cutting edge styling of the C7. I would be suprised not to see some type of evaluation of these on the rear mid engine.
Definitely one of the design features of the C7 and still very modern even after 4 years.

BG only builds Corvettes. At least as far as we know currently.
These photos are from the BG new paint shop .
Why would you think it's a Camaro part being test painted at BG?
I think it's safe to say these parts are for the rear mid engine Corvette and not a Camaro.
Now possible a Cadillac could be ? I am not sure anyone can say if it's Corvette or a New Cadillac only time will tell.
May best guess from the styling is its for a new Corvette!
