yea, i had the whole exhuast customized with long tube headers, cats, x-pipe, borla mufflers, and turn downs. still working on it. the turn downs hang too low, and i gotta tuck the muffler too, to be able to lower it... but anywho, what about the emblems?

the x pipe and everything before the mufflers are tuched really nice, but the muffler hangs a little low, and the turn downs drop down tooooo low right before the axle, it may just look different in the pic. sounds really good though with those long tubes.

Like the emblems but they should be on a midnight blue or black paint job.

Your car looks great man, my only suggestion is that you paint black behind the grille. I did with mine and Im happy with the results.

i used double sided tape in key areas on the emblem. they were ment for a 67 camaro and i had to cut the studs off the back but that was no problem at all.

Don't call them "retro" anymore.... call them "vintage", it sounds better.

I love the way they look on the front fenders. The one on the back needs to be replaced by the "vintage" Z/28 badge.... nice. ~Joshua
