Default Some subtle emblem *enhancements*

I got bored of how my emblems looked, so I added some black vinyl to spice things up a bit. I also moved the Chevy bow tie to under the driver's side taillight instead of the traditional next to the "Z28" emblem. The nose emblem just let the paint show through, so I put some black vinyl under it as well as the bow tie. The Z28 emblem vinyl is pretty easy to notice. Enjoy, opinions welcome. And sorry for the crappy pics

BEFORE:




AFTER:
Vinyl added to all Z28 emblems, obviously just the "Z":




Vinyl under nose emblem:


Bow tie moved to the driver's side with black vinyl underneath:

I really do like your car. Im just not a fan of SS stuff on a Z28, and when you do at least pull off the Z28 badges... but as far as improvement... Definitely adds contrast

He's in a lose lose situation there. If he puts SS badges on it, people will complain because it's not a true SS. I actually liked the way my car looked without badges or side molding but I still couldn't convince anybody that it was a v6.

You're a D.A. if you wouldn't swap a z hood for an ss or spoilers as well..

I think the car looks good man, keep up the good work!

I do the same thing, the TDs dumped kinda gives it away I think... To the OP I think that looks even better it makes it stand out and that is a great color.

Thanks for the compliments everyone.

And as for the hood and spoiler, I couldn't care less if my car is not an SS. They make the car look BETTER.

That's like me saying, u might want to remove those ZO6 wheels, since your car is not a ZO6
