Default Help me decide on my badging!

I don't really have any pics to work with because my car isnt done yet, plus there aren't really any other cars that look THAT close to how its going to (at least not what I know of), and some of my ideas for emblems would need to be done custom, but here's the info I CAN provide.

- 1997 Camaro Z28
- BMW "Jerez Black" Paint (black with navy blue pearl effect)
- VFN "Sunoco" hood
- Freedom design 3" ducktail spoiler
- Ruff 281 wheels

And here is the three badging configurations I am going back and fourth between.

Config #1
  • 1st gen "Z/28" fender emblems with an orange Z/ and black numbers
  • "350" cowl numbers in mirror acrylic, black with an orange outline.
  • Rear "CAMARO" inlays in the same finish as the cowl numbers.
  • No badge under the right rear tail light.

Config #2

  • 1st gen "Z/28" fender emblems with an orange Z/ and black numbers
  • No cowl numbers
  • Rear "CAMARO" inlays in brushed stainless.
  • smaller version of a first gen emblem to go in the stock rear badge location. Colors would match the fender badges.

Config #3

Same as number 2, but with orange vinyl cowl numbers, and undecided rear inlays/badging.

And of course any other ideas are welcome!

#2 sounds best to me. I don't think it would look good with cowl emblems.

Orange on blue is a no no.

I never liked the 4th gen Z28 emblems. For mine i got some 70's Z28 emblems and stuck them on. I don't like the / through the 1st gen emblem.

70's Z28 badges look great imo..i like config. #2..but i vote no badge under the tail light..i like the clean debadged look on the rear..i feel like a small 1st gen emblem would look to small and out of place..plus it'll looks like a v6 from behind haha
