Badging red silver or delete? Hey guys I am a little un decided, I have a black on black 01 SS, the car is about to come out of the shop with a gorgeous fresh paint job, there isn't any badging or molding on it. I am leaving the molding off, not for any particular reason except I don't really feel like messing with it. The other thing is I can't make up my mind on whether to use silver badging, red badging or no badging, I needed to change, my grill becuase it was warped to improper installation. Any advise, I still have amber lenses, I want something slick and classy. Let me know what you think, please.

i personally prefer the black and silver ones. it's all about personal preference though. the only way i'd put the red ones on is if there are more red accents on the car.

I'd leave the emblems on there if I was you. Also what kind of grille do you have ? I used to like the polished emblems alot but the red ones have grown on me. I'd go with red emblems , an SLP grille , and leave the stock amber/red turn signals. Something kinda like these guys cars :
Polished/Red - Either way it will look pretty good IMO

I wish I had some pictures of it put back together but unfortunately it isn't going to be buttoned up for about another 3 or four days.
I wasn't really specific enough in my original post to give you guys a better idea of why I was asking (I just read the sticky about the wheel selection,hehe)
I bought brand new zr1s for my car because two of my chrome ten spokes were scraped up in a highway accident, also new rubber.
Okay that being said I am very partial to stock looks, factory lights etc. But was breaking away from that a little bit by not putting the molding back on. I am trying to make it look as close to new/stock as possible and I have looked at quite a few pictures on here, and was just wondering a general consensus, I really am divided 50/50, if I do the red I would prefer to re do all of the badges (sides and rear) if I do the silver I would actually just like to have it in the grill and leave the rest blank. Then everytime I see that black with the polished TT2s and red emblems I rethink my rims plus everything. I guess my problem doesn't stem from being ashamed of what the LS1 Techers but really the fact that I like and appreciate all the F-bodies so much I can't figure out what I like best! I didn't expect to get that many replies however. Please a little conituned input if you have a preference!
Pardon I forgot to mention I have the grill with the red emblem on there right now, but I am having to replace due to some slight warpage ( i think holes were drilled funny and caused it to look a little warped) so since it is getting new paint I am going to install one right this time and start with a fresh grill!
