Any links or ideas welcome.

I actually got my hands on a badge from a 1968 Camaro (thanks to my boss) and I tried mounting it on the dash (it of course is chrome), but to no avail. The glare at just the right angle is blinding, which of course is detrimental to your driving experience. I am mounting mine under my hood.

I have a 69 one on mine. Here is a pic before I finished bending the top enough to make it flow with the dash.

if you get into an accident with the badge on the passengers airbag... wouldn't that become a projectile?

eh....that's the passengers worry, not yours......f-bodys are one seaters, unless you got a hot girl next to you. then slap some duct tape over the emblem and you're good to go.

I was thinking of something like that Camaro script badge, but in the TA script. I picked-up a brushed aluminum stick-on (decal), but am not sure if I like it yet.
