Badging question i just bought this car yesterday and was wondering about the color on the Z28 badges. the guy said it came that way from the factory. I've only seen red and black badges. was it an option to have it color matched?
I'll try to take some better pictures tonight.

Not that Ive ever seen.
The only 4th gen "stock" emblems Ive seen were black, black and then there's the faster black.
That looks like a crappy attempt to color match. Its like sea-foam green on Green Met.

If you want a retro Z28 badge, go to Year One and get whatever one you can thats a sticky emblem.
If you want a bling emblem, talk with DragonZ28 Im sure he could hook you up.
Or if you want, grab some dental floss and run it behind the emblem and peel them off. Grab whatever can of paint you want, and paint 'em whatever color you want. IMO, what would look kinda cool w/ your color, is painting them black but in the ridges, paint it the same green as the car. It'll be a subtle touch and wont be hard or expensive to do at all.

Highly recommend the stainless steel emblems DragonZ28 makes.

the long journey is beginning on what to get the first time so i don't have to do it a second time at twice the price.

the z28 on the fenders and rear should be black and the bowtie on the back should be red... with the car that color i would either paint these ones black or get polished stainless ones... i dont think retro badges would look good on that green... and if you wanna spend the money get the z06 style.. ive seen z06 ones that look diffrent and personally better (not that dragons are bad) i just like the other ones better, but they are twice as much

what do i use to reattach the badges? 3m double sided tape i'm guessing, but is there a certain kind?
i think i'll paint them for now and get the z06 style later. need to prioritize my mods. go before show.
