The latest autoweek says the Z06 will have 50th anniv emblems. The Coupe/vert have anniv emblems on the fenders. I suppose the Z06 will keep it's fender emblem and only have anniv emblems on the nose and decklid ?

For those who want to up grade to a 2003 just take off the cross flags on the hood and trunk lid, and stick on the new emblems cost about $40.00 dollars.
Remember, its only the 50 Anniversary of the Corvette itself. Its the 40th Anniversary of the Z06- which is probably why there won't be a big-special-deal version ?
During 2003 only, all Corvettes feature a special 50th anniversary emblem on the front and rear. The emblem is silver and features the number "50" with the signature cross-flag design.
I would guess this is in place of the black ones we all have now.
You would think the 50th emblem would be GOLD not white. Well I wouldn't buy a 2003 just for a new pair of white emblems with a 50 on them. Just buy the emblems its cheaper...duh
If I'm ever asked if my Z06 is a 50th anniversary edition, I'll just smile and tell them I couldn't wait for the 50th, so I got the 49th anniversary edition! Bill

The 1963 had a RPO Z06 it was not a Model as it is today.
I think the silver 50th emblems would look good on a QS (of any year). Might be able to remove the area that has the 50 on it, leaving it looking like the 97-02s.
BTW, the 50th is ALWAYS the golden anniv., so WTF is SILVER (25th) doing as the emblem color? The General should have gone full "pimp" with the 50th: Candy Apple Red with GOLD wheels (ala Ferrari race wheel color), a gold metallic leather interior, & 24K plated emblems!!
