Of course... and the "Corvette," as well. I remove all that won't leave evidence.

Always one of the first mods I do is de badge anything possible. If the other ones would come off without leaving holes they too would be gone. OP, curious how much did it cost you do get that front lip and side skirts?

I removed my fish after the third week. Way better without them.

When the StingRay first came out, I hated the emblems. That was the first, along with the Chrome strip, I planned on removing! I took care of the Chrome strip, but have been reluctant removing the emblems. I now like them! I also removed the rear script. To each their own!

To each their own, I just don't get it. Seems some must stay up at night just thinking of what else they can change.

No Stingray badge here, i thought it might look out of place.

Considering that's not a StingRay, you wouldn't want to be a poser.

I removed mine.

After a deer strike, but before the body shop took the car. I wanted to keep it.



Looks fantastic, doesn't it?

eta: The body shop put a new chrome one on to match the one on the other side.

It is a Stingray Z51. No "poser" going on, I just didn't think the fishes would go well on the widebody fenders. I do have "Stingray" on the wheels, the door sills, and the badge on the dash though.

Personally I love the Stingray badge but in Europe it was not possible to order Carbon Flash badging so I ordered separately from US and replaced the chrome ones. However, I removed the "CORVETTE" letters in the rear, I think it gives a much cleaner look!
