How do you guys feel on false-badging? I recently bought this

Fake badging is stupid as fuck, and the people that do it are just compensating. It's the same as a padded bra -- all lies. Find a way to remove them.

>>13873537
Take it off.
If anyone sees under your bonnet and knows Corvettes then it will be an embarassment for you.

Also imo, that paint scheme is terrible but to each his own i guess

False badging is awful. I still haven't worked up the courage to take the ///M thing off.

But the people who drive miatas mod them to hell and back, thats why they are so good. they are cheap to mod and make power with

>>13873588

The two-tone could be better, but it isn't awful. $6k for a LT1/6spd is pretty good. You should take the ZR-1 badges off.

Modify them to say something that doesn't exist but sounds plausible.

Explain and defend this option package to anyone who asks about it, using more and more absurd terminology the longer you have to continue.

It triggers me. The worst offenders in my area seem to be BMW drivers, and i've come across several M3 badge 3's.

>>13873537
False-badging is only funny when it say the car is slower/weaker than it actually is. Things like an Audi RS model with base-model bumpers and badges. Sleepers are cool.
"Up-badging" is pretty stupid though.

>>13873537
If that's a track pack car you could get Z51 badges from another gen and put th over the paint damage from removing the ZR1 badges.

Car's ballin either way bro.

>>13873537
It's awful. ZR1 badges on an LT1 vette is especially egregious.

>>13873609
Unfortunately for you he's right. That is a horrendous paint job.

>>13875145

welcome to /o/

If I'm not mistake you do have the rear bumper/taillights of a ZR1. So OP, does it have any other ZR1 stuff on it? I would still de-badge it however

>>13875333
It doesn't have the main thing that makes a ZR1 a ZR1, the fucking LT5.

>>13875327
sleepers a best

>>13875327
I don't even get it. Do they really think anyone who even knows what the M badge means won't be able to tell?

Fuck off google NONE OF THESE THINGS ARE PATIOS.

>>13875327
Yeah i don't have a problem with cars swapping to base model badges or trying to look slower because sleeper, but slapping high trim badges on your shit bucket pisses me off because you think i'm not smart enough know the difference.

If its not M///// or M3///////// badges its fucking COBRA badges. The number of mustangs with cobra badges i see is also way up there. Side note, the cobra designation is also stupid because Cobra's weren't even Ford's but it is what it is.

That's fucking horrible. It's probably an automatic too. I hope this was the ONLY C4 in your entire shithole of a state.

>>13875508
Don't listen to the angry faggots, I kinda wish my c4 was painted like that, and yeah the fucking zr1 badge is kinda gay. I want to get the lt1 badge for mine.

Thanks homie. Long live the C4!

take the badge off, thats fucking stupid shit

the paint scheme... i like it.... i think it would look better if it was just a straight two colour car, not the fancy bonnet part heading into the middle thing, if it just the top part of the car orange, then it'd look great, as is, looks good.

>>13875591
I kinda like the dual-color scheme, I just wish the orange wouldn't go over the edge like that.

I'm guessing that those brakes are adequate for a base model corvette like his.

Harley davidson colours on a Corvette are pretty arse, but if you like it, good, it's your car. No need to listen to other idiots.

Beef up your stop/tails to compensate for those tinted lenses. They're as bright as they are for a reason.

You know OP, instead of removing the badges, you could always just drop an LS7 into it and acrtally have a ZR-1C4.

Gonna need to find an LT5 for that. Good luck, bruh.

>>13875720
Or leave the ZR1 badges off and maybe even keep the Z51 badges on there and swap in an LS7 to make a sleeper LS7-powered C4.

C4 ZR-1s had an LT5, not an LS7. So if you want it to be a ZR-1 it has to have an LT5. LS7 > LT5 but it's not the appropriate engine for a C4 ZR-1.

>>13873537

LT5 was designed by Lotus too. DOHC and 32V in a Corvette.

Depends, ironically done it's OK, but like putting a red badge or Type R on your DX that's dumb.
