Love the back and the emblems in general but not sure how I feel about where they are placed on the fenders, not sure they would look right where the trans am emblems were either though...

I actually agree with you, but that is probably the best spot out of any options. It's where the LOTB emblems go, anyway.

I have to agree with the others, kinda looks out of place. The PONTIAC fill-ins look awesome, I would of just kept the WS6 rear badge and maybe some LOTB badges on the side fenders.

Awesome looking ride though, and if your happy with them thats all that matters.

Agreed. Now there is too much going on and the emblems do look out of place IMO. THe inserts look great and if you must keep the WS6 ones, I would only keep the rear one and remove the ones on the front fenders.

Oh they aren't coming off, I'm done with emblem adhesive for at least a year

Meh, i personally liked the before but thats just me. I gotta agree placement isnt the best, I like the ZO themed emblems best down low on the front of the rocker panel on T/A's IMO. Still looks good though.

Well I like them, that's all that matters. Everyone's entitled to their opinion though.

It might help a little if I explained my future plans of Weld RTS wheels, in the black finish. I think they will go VERY well with the onyx.

I like em man! Looks good to me and never been a big fan of the Z06 style badges, but they look sinister in onyx. Emblems placement is limited on these cars given the vents on fenders. Doors look better clean, imo. Good job.

sorry man.....Roger does great work, but even those wheels wont save your choice on emblems. And unless you plan a 3" offset out back you might pull it off...otherwise......

Good grief guys. Based on some of your comments, you would think this was a thread about the OP running over your dogs. At least he can't say y'all sugar coated your opinions. LOL. Brutally Honest.

I say move the WS6 emblems to the front of the side skirts like on a 3rd gen Z28.

I think it looks good and will look even better with the RTS's. Do you still have your old WS6 emblem or no? Mine is cracked.
