Default Shave front nose emblem?

Hey guys, I'm getting my front end repainted, and I'm putting on a stull billet grille with a blue 69 bowtie. Should I have them shave the front emblem? would a hood ornament and a grill emblem be too much? Thanks!

I had my emblem shaved off. I think it looks so much cleaner!

There's no doubt that the shaved looks good. However, keep in mind, if you show your car, some car show classifications state that if you shave, well, anything, it bumps you into "modified" class from "street" class, and you'll be competing against a whole new, very well funded, set of competitors. Just a side note.

If you don't really care about all that much, then hell yeah, shave that thing off!

The shaved look is subtle, but definitely nice. Interesting info. regarding shows...

I'd shave it. The bowtie will look much nicer without the other nose emblem.

I guess I'm alone on this one.
Sure, it's a cleaner look with the emblem shaved, but the Camaro emblem to me is part of what makes it a Camaro.
Mine will always be there.

Just my 2¢
