Default Lack of identification INSIDE my new Vette
I just purchased a new Grand Sport and am lov'n it. However, I noticed that there is a total lack of model designation inside the cabin. Yes, there are plenty of crossed flag symbols but nothing speaks of the model of the car.
I just ordered a GM center console lid in Napa leather with the Grand Sport name to help correct this design oversight.

Nice!

Grand Sport floor mats are a nice touch, too:

I guess GM figures you already know it's a GS, and don't need to be reminded everytime you sit down....

Looks great! My (under construction) GS will have the gray interior too, where'd you get that? I might have to take a hard look at doing the same thing. Looks cool

I know what model I'm driving, and I don't feel any need to show it off to anyone else. And, if someone can't tell it's a GS or Z06 by looking at the outside, the interior badging won't mean anything to them anyway.

I prefer less badging, script,etc. Looks tacky IMO.

I solved that issue with the Grand Sport Napa Leather Console Lid and the Caravaggio steering wheel with Grand Sport logo screen printed onto the carbon fiber on the bottom of the wheel.

If adding a feature/mode and there is an option to have Grand Sport words/logo, I'll get it but otherwise why bother?

As if the other 450 Corvette, or crossed flags, or other marks Chevrolet put on the car weren't enough. What a first world problem...
