Default C8 Mode Cover

I thought that the C8 Logo on the Mode Cover was a bit plain. Here's what I did to improve the looks.

This is a little off topic but is seems like you are into logos. Why is the logo on the front of the C8 painted different than the logo on the steering wheel? The hockey stick shaped area left bottom center is black on one and white on the other.

It looks to be off of the first aid kit.

^^^^^ My bad..... too many Miller Lites.

I asked to delete my reply, but obviously it's still there. For what ever reason, I had them reversed in my mind. Please disregard.

Looks pretty good on the mode cover and hopefully stays on there for a long time.

Does it make it uncomfortable to rest your hand or move it across there? I usually rest my palm on that spot, and slide my hand up to rest my wrist on the cover to select things on the infotainment.

Default Mode. Over

It’s fairly flat especially if you slightly bend the wing tips down to the slightly curved shape of the cover

im somewhere in between…. If I had it… I think I’d like it….. but not going outta my way for it…..

if I were knit picking though: I’d wish the corvette logo was embroidered “deeper” (if that’s even possible)
