Default Is this tacky?

I'm Not going to blatantly point out my mod to the z51 .. If you can't tell then ill assume its not. But I respect the community's opinion on these matters.

no.. That's the result of camera flash. They're stock tail lights

okay, while I'm not a big fan of the badge/emblem that are not factory, your does not look tacky. it's done right and if you like the look, well then that's what matters most.

If you wouldn't have called it "the z51" I don't know that I wouldn't have diverted my eyes directly to the badge, but alas...two pet peaves in one go.

As long as you like it!

Tacky! I say it to myself all the time when I see it. I don't like it if it's not from factory! Just my opinion. Thats just me.

A badge for an option? Yes, gaudy.

But then I've thought about getting some AN4, GU2 and T93 badges made up.

I often get asked whether my vette is a Z06. If I had that badge I could really confuse them. Great badge keep them guessing. LOL

Yes you should wear pants before taking pictures in front of a shiny car! The badge does look odd. Your car though so what, see how it looks centered under the badge.

Yes. You need to clean and paint that garage so your car has a nice home.

Oh, and drop the badge.

If you are asking you must have doubts yourself. If you don't, then don't ask. It is your car so do what you like, not what others tell you to do.

Oh, I thought you meant the tacky dirty tail pipes. WASH THEM!!! Then get some Mother's Chrome Polish and a tooth brush.

It's your car. Do YOU think it's tacky? Why do you care what we think?

I agree with Eric above. Now if it was some tacky, pink script with fuzzy lettering, then it would be tacky (imo of course ). But, it looks to be tasteful. Just not to everyone's taste. Very little is (to everyone's taste that is).
