I painted my heat extractor gloss black to contrast the carbon. Rear and rear was in NFG, again to offset them against the black paint.
I may just remove the heat extractor ones entirely. I'll replace the rear with this black one I ordered, and like you said, I'm not sure about what to do with the front one. Does it pop off easily and leave no evidence behind?

What exhaust/tips do you have? And where did you get (or make?) the ZL1 logo on the exhaust tips?

If someone doesn't mind waiting a month, here's the "direct from manufacturer" version of the Amazon emblems, lol. I'm 99.9% sure they're identical, but both have slight differences vs the OEM emblem....BUT their dimensions are extremely close to each other.

I dare ya!

I may or may not have bought a few dozen Chinese emblems of all makes/models of higher end cars to decorate my toolbox with back in 2016. Hellcat, Scat Pack, Viper, Camaro, Shelby, RS7, ZL1, Z71, Alfa Romeo, AC Schnitzer, GTR, STi, F Sport, GT500 Super Snake, SSR, GTS, C6 flags, Brabus, Stingray fender emblem, Alpina, ZR1, SRT, SS, list goes on and on... Total waste of money, but with them being around $1-2 shipped I couldn't help myself. Wish I could find a pic of my toolbox to share.

I had them custom made to my specs.
I'm considering having them make some more to sell.
Let me know if you are interested, but it takes a few months.

I think it looks awesome! However, depending on the exhaust I end up getting, a lot of the brands put their logo on the tips in that location.
So my interest would be pending based on the exhaust I end up going with...

Edit: I should also ask... did you have the tips custom made? Or the "ZL1" logo on the tips as a sticker?

I’d be interested… what do they cost? Did you just have a shop weld them on? Can we get some closer pictures?

Thanks.
I had the tips custom made, including the ZL1 laser engraving. No sticker.

I will open a new thread once I have everything sorted out with the factory, including price and more pics.
Yes I welded them on.

Hey Swisstyphoon,
Those all look amazing. A couple questions.. Was removal of the Flowtie a major headache and/or any tips for us? How did you inlay the carbon fiber into the front bumper ZL “1” emblem? Did you just use regular gloss spray paint for the front emblem, flowtie and center caps? Any information is greatly appreciated. Again, nicely done my friend…

I pulled my front bumper to melt the welds to get the chrome flowtie bezel off. It may could be snapped off without removing the bumper, but I wasn't willing to try since only way I found to replace the chrome surround was to buy an upper grille.

For my flowtie and rear emblem I used nightfall gray metallic with 3k clear to match my wheels, mixed in rattle cans at Automotive Touchup.

The factory red "1" comes off, you can remove and trace on vinyl in carbon or whatever color you'd like. I tossed mine in CAD to trace so I could cut it out on my old Silhouette and cut them. Also measured the "1" for the Chinese emblems to put in CAD.

Front ZL1 emblem has 2 prongs on backside to align and is held on with tape, comes off easy.
