Ok, I changed this:



to this (bad pic but it's my most recent, my car is on the right):



...here's another pic before I put it back on the car:



In case you can't tell I painted the panel slightly darker, ditched the Bowtie and Z28 emblem...

I DEFINETLY like it better than with the old emblems on it but am still thinking it's a little too plain with nothing back there...

My favorite Berger panels are ones that have emblems on them but that are balanced...

Ones with the GMMG logo to the left under CAMARO with "by Berger" to the right under CAMARO (took me a friggin hour to find a pic of this):





...or ones that have the stock emblems under the tail light on the right and another emblem under the tail light on the left. Here's some examples:







I want to add emblems to my panel but I have a couple of dilemmas...

1) I have 1974 style Z28 emblems on the side (so I can't put 4th Gen style ones on the back) and it (the 1974 style) looks dumb on the back...

2) I don't have a chambered exhaust (and won't since I love my Mufflex) so a GMMG emblem is out...

I do have a lot of SLP parts on my car and a lot of GM parts (BESIDES the ones that came on it stock...ex. Z06 wheels, SS spoiler, vintage emblems, etc...) So I was thinking about the SLP emblem on the driver side under the tail light:



...and maybe the GM Performance Division emblem on the passenger side under the tail light:



...or there is also this GM Performance Parts emblem to consider:



The Sunoco Cowl hood I have will be getting "346" emblems on the side of the cowl like this (but black letters outline w/ chrome instead of white):



...so I could also throw another "346" under the driver side tail light with some other type of emblem under the passenger side tail light...

I've also tossed around the idea of finding a Sunoco emblem (since I have the hood) like this (but a metal emblem):



...or a V-Flag (yes, old school Camaros, not just Vettes or Chevelles, came with these as well):



...and of course you could always throw the new GM Mark of Excellence emblems into the mix:



Finally, another board member posted this:



Apparently you can get the Dick Harrell emblem from here, wait, not sure if they're a sponsor (moderators have let me slide a LOT on this issue and I don't want to push it) so I'll just post a pic of what it looks like for sale for $50 from their website:



I think this is a GREAT substitution for the GMMG emblem that goes on Berger panels...

My thoughts are that since I have the Sunoco hood which is designed from the Dick Harrell Camaros I should be ok with this one emblem...

Here's a pic of my car with the Sunoco hood for reference:



Just another option...

What do you guys think my best option (besides leaving it blank) would be?

Thanks !

i am thinking that i will be putting on a gmmg bagde when i get my gmmg catback on there

The performance one would look cool. But those badges come stock under the hood above the drivers side head light of some of the Poniac Bonivilles. It was on something wierd... I couldnt figure out why it was there.

what is the part number on that GM Performance Division emblem? Also where did you get those tail lights? Or how did you make them?

I updated my original post to include this GM Performance Parts emblem as an option:

I made the tail lights by spraying the amber and white parts with a translucent red paint (from a hobby store) then with a clear coat (Dupli-Color in the can) then wetsanded and polished them...

For the emblem just do a search on ebay...

DEMON, my vote is for the "V Flag" on the pass. side and "346" on the driver side. That would look sweet, AND unique!

i vote the gm performance badge on the left side, but i gues im biased. i paitned the badge black and then scuffed up then sanded the paint back off the surface so the letters would remain black and could be read. i now have silver fill-ins too.

makes it tough that you don't want to use the 4th gen Z28 emblem, that kind of anchors the one side and DragonZ makes a nice polished Z28 that works well with the inserts. Anyway, I like the 5.7 for one side and maybe the SLP decal that OrangePeel sells, it looks great back there.

I'm in the same predicament except I have a gloss panel and brushed/satin steel inserts. I'll be using a matching brushed Z28 and an SLP on the other side....will post pics when complete.

I have the GMMG decal on the left, stainless Camaro inserts, and had the "by Berger" badge on the right (but I got tired of it). Not great pics, but you get the idea.





Where do you guys get the HP decals?

Not a fan of black outs but your panel/emblem setup looks really nice

so many badges to pick from

I have 2 of the GM Performance Division badges on my car, one on each side on the doors. Just so ya know, I tried it on the rear of the car and looked like a dealership badge.

I edited the first post (again) to include this:
