Z51 Badging?

Anyone aware of any aftermarket vendors offering tasteful badging for the C8 Z51? Looking for something in the 3-4 inch range. Pics if you got 'em. TIA

Oh, they are out there, that's for sure!!

Check in w/MagicGlass. He bought and installed a bunch of them on his first C8. If he didn't buy them all, he may be able to provide a link to where he found them.

Link below with photos may start you off in the right direction!

There was very little meat on the bone there other than a whole lot of petty butthurt bickering tit-for-tat. Similar to chrome wheels vs black wheels thread bickering. I'm looking for vendor information that retails these products.

You could try pep boys for something that would suit your questionable tastes.

Try WestCoastCorvette, CorvetteGuys, CorvetteStoreOnline, CorvetteCentral. CorvetteMods (highly recommend you stay away from them), but this is right up their alley.

Don't limit yourself to "C8" products. Most Z51 badges are generic, so using C7 Z51 badges would work.

I think as long as you limit how many you put on it, it’s a tasteful add on. Treat it like an accent piece in just one or two spots and it’ll look good.

I did that on my C7, two small badges placed on each side air outlet. I thought it was tasteful. I bet yours will be too. Post pix afterwards?

I may order up an 18.5 badge. You know, for the fuel capacity.

I’m sorry. I won’t let it happen again. Have a wonderful evening.

Please don't. Your brake calipers already have your "badging". Don't "Autozone" your car.

I think you missed the point of the comment. Extra badges on a car is pure Pep Boys /Auto Zone energy.

And…it’s his car. He didn’t ask “how would it look if I…”, he asked “where can I find a…” Pretty big difference too few of us (at times myself included) remember. We are all too quick to be ********* on here.
