I'm pretty sure all the emblems are plastic, either black or some form of plastic chrome.

By that logic, the C8's entire cheap plastic body belongs in the dumpster 🗑️

mounted my flags underneath…looks good and since the plate just pops off, you can get the flags perfectly centered on your workbench. Slightly bend the flags in the middle to fit with a heat gun.

That looks great, probably going to steal that idea, I am also considering replacing the Carbon Flash CORVETTE with white letters to match the Arctic White paint. Wish I was good with Photoshop or AI to do an image manipulation to see how subdued it might appear. They would still be there but discreet.

The black Corvette lettering especially on a white car really stands out and to me in a very negative way. I don't think "white" will work but it's worth a try. What I found was that changing the lettering from black to chrome badging (if you're not a chrome on anything hater) does subdue the lettering to me in a good way. Find a Corvette with that to see what it looks like in person.

Just finished up 2-stage paint correction/polish on my new Z06 and dropped it off for ppf and window tint. I ended up removing the Z06 badges under the side intakes and Corvette lettering on the back. I left the V badges on the front and the rear deck lid. This is completely subjective, but I feel that the rear deck lid is a very large flat expanse that benefits from the badge breaking the space up. For the badges I removed I asked myself if the car came without them would I want to add them, and my answer was an easy no. I'm very happy with how it looks now, and I'll add some photos when I get the car back in a couple of days. BTW the letters were super easy to remove with dental floss -- they are held on with flexible butyl rubber..

I admit after seeing the white on white images that I do like the look. However after seeing that those letters are priced at $300 to $375 I don't like it quite as much as I thought I did. I will either leave it alone or go naked. Corvette tax at its finest.
