cause with 4th gens the Z28s are base model packages bascially so upgrading is alright but downgrading a SS to a Z just isnt right. you have a true SS if you want a Z sell the ss then

My car was in an accident and I got all this stuff as replacement parts. The whole front end was basically destroyed as was the windshield. The bodyshop didn't get the SS emblems in yet!

My comment before was based on be proud of the SS model you own due to it's rarity and that it's not the much more common Z28 because without badging it does look make it look like a Z28. It's his car and if he liked it that way then that's all that matters. His appearance mods were done tastefully but my personal opinion is to show off the SS that is, and which is accomplished by having the badges on.

Car looks great, I dont think there is anything wrong with it, its still an SS regardless! Its not a collectors car so its not gonna matter, just get those SS emblems back on there and your good. My Z badges will never come off regardless of the hood I put on it unless its for some old school Z emblems.

Edit: O ya and get some black corners!
