Default Z51 Emblems

I can't find any information on this. Where's the best and or proper placement of the Z51 Stick On Emblems?

I think they would look best stuck to the inside of a trash bag. You do you, boo.

What Z51 stick on emblems? Did you get Z51 stick on emblems when you got your C8 with Z51? Or are you talking about some type of aftermarket badging?

Aftermarket. Don’t know if you can get them when you order your c8 new. Just wondering where to place them on my c8.

I think I got them on Amazon. If you Google Z51 emblems, lots of choices come up, so it is pretty much personal choice. I bought two styles and liked this one best. I think they refer to is as a domed decal with carbon fiber look. I also have Z51 emblems on my C7 which are rather different because the C7 badges were framed in chrome unlike the black on the C8.

I had one on my C7 for about a day, then decided, WTF did I do that for? It just didn't look or feel right, so I took it off.

You want to put Z51 emblems on a regular C8?

no, on a real z51. They apparently don’t come on z51’s. Go figure.

That should tell you something. Z51 logo is on the brake calipers. That's enough.

Yeah, a Z51 is no 'regular' Corvette.

I think a Z51 emblem in the same place where the Z06 emblems are located would look great.

Apparently some folks are horrified by this 🤷‍♂️ which I don’t get. Putting a Z06 emblem on a non Z06 would be bad. Or a Z51 emblem on a non Z51 car I wouldn’t be a fan of. But a Z51 emblem… on a Z51? Just a nice reminder you got all the good stuff… brakes, suspension, cooling, E-diff…

I’m a bit surprised the Z51 doesn’t have something that indicates it’s the “performance” model Stingray…. The lettering on the calipers is practically invisible on my car….

To me a Z51 emblem is no different than an SS or RS emblem back in the day. The Z51 has special performance components same as the performance models in the past….

The C8 has a Z06 emblem. I’m assuming there will be a ZR1 emblem.

Other generations had Z51 emblems….. 🤷‍♂️

I guess most people believe in each to their own and modify how they like, but I guess “combat” comes very natural to you……..

Other than brake calipers, the only other Z51 emblems on my car are under the engine hatch.

I would agree that the best place may be where the factory Z06 emblems are.

If installing the Z51 emblems are something you want to do, I say go for it.

I opted to put one (sticker, ebay) at the bottom of the license plate frame
