Emblem idea... What do you guys think? I was thinking about adding the 70-74 Buick Stage 1 fender emblem under the GXP badge on the door.
I would like to call my build the Stage 1
LS1 intake
Milled heads 10.25 cr
Backcut valves
1.8 rockers
PAC springs, molly pushrods, and titanium retainers
LS1 intake
CAI intake
3" catted downpipe
Magnaflow exhaust kit
Lew tuned
Buick also had a Stage 2
For this build I would like to run
-LS6 intake
-Custom cam
-LS7 lifters/buckets
LS2 valley tray
-3" catless down pipe into 3" single into dual 2 1/2" exhaust (My custom spintech set up)
-85mm MAF
with the proper filter and coupler.
DT Headers
-Lew tuned
-Tep trans, converter, and gears
Opinions?

Usually when you hear about stages it's typically on a forced induction car, but cool idea. Like the above post, be prepared to explain it everytime someone asks about the car. Lol.

That's why I said "usually". How many times do you see someone say they have a Camaro with a stage one package? Now, how many times do you see a Cobalt SS with a Stage "x" package?

I have looked into the Pontiac emblems and nothing seens to excite me. My car is not like other GXP's so I wanna make it stand out a little bit more. I don't really care for the sleeper look "on this car". Just being a Grand prix makes it sleeper enough.
My only issue is that the Buick Stage emblems will run me about 90.00 shipped!
