Default What badges to go with?

I bought the brent frankler silver overlay badges awhile back and now their starting to get ugly around the edges and was wanting either the factory black/silver outline or even the retro 1stgen SS badges..

What would look better??

I think the stainless badges look the best, but that's my opinion.

The retro emblems seem to have more character and class than the new "plastic fantastics" do....I went with 1970 Z28 emblems about 6 years ago and haven't missed those cheesy, invisible (on NBM) stock '99 emblems one second.

If I had an SS, I'd use a '69 SS grille emblem in a black Stull billet, fill in the rear filler panel C A M A R O letters so I could use a '69 SS tail panel emblem on a "Berger" paint scheme. For the front fenders I'd use the SS emblems from a 1970 Chevelle, as the stock '69 Camaro SS emblems are a little on the smallish side....

i just had a great idea, see if muffinbuster can do custom work and see if he can get you badges that are black with chrome(or in your case grey) borders
