I like the Z06 style emblem and am going to get a set for mine.
Don't worry about what everyone else likes. It's your car and do what you want. I've noticed there's a lot of people on the net who think if your car doesn't look exactly like their car it's not cool.
Just my .02

BUT, based on your logic, "is it stupid for GM to put an engine in the F-Body like they robbed it out of a Vette?"
Same difference. It was the Corvette engine, but we have it.
Also, what about those rims on your car? Do they belong there? What about you calling your car a "mini" Vette?
So you're saying it's ok to borrow all that stuff, but you can't even use a DESIGN of an emblum?

I know we're talking about an emblem. But the same logic you use on saying it's gay, is the same logic that would say everything about your car is gay.
Ever think that maybe your wrong about the emblem?
It's ok, I forgive you

I guess all 69 of the 02 ZL1 Camaros are Gay for having Z06 Look alike emblems on them too.

Hey guys! First post in this forum! Ian told me some of you were looking for the Z28 (Z06) style emblems.
I recently purchased a set for my 1994 Z/28 and really like them. They're great quality.
My attitude toward things like this are always to not be a poser, but customization is what the hobby is about...be it appearance or performance mods...it's about making the car your own.
I had something to do with these emblems...albeit, not intentionally. I've been lobbying GM to build a "real" Z/28 again when the 5th gen comes back....all in the same vein as the Z06 is to the Corvette. I'm happy to report that I feel like I've made great strides.
The image Ian first posted was for a t-shirt that I made for a private meeting I had with Scott Settlemire last fall in Bowling Green.
I heard , through my gang over at the 5th gen board on CamaroZ28.com that these emblems had actually been produced and was contacted by Greg (from Mastach.com in Poland) to buy a set.
I feel like that with the mods I've done to my car it's "The closest thing to a Corvette" (to steal an old Chevy advertising slogan for the Z/28).
Here's a few pics of the emblems on my car......along with my mod list.

You have Z06 rims on your car jackass, is an emblem that says Z28 any different?

I'm a jackass cause I have Z06 rims on my car? ok, there Einstein... I am not trying to "badge" my car after something else. The "badge" is what we are talking about here. Get your heads out of your candy asses and realize what I am talking about. If you don't see it, please feel free to rice your **** of a car out and be laughed at behind your back. I don't have time for these rediculous pointless arguments and I am leaving this one here, as it sits.

Ok minivette and raptor99 lets just both agree to disagree. minivette doesnt like them and raptor99 does so leave it at that. No need to be argumentative over something silly. Please stop the verbal attacks or the mods may be forced to take action.

I dunno I still don't think they're rice. They Say Z28 but in the style of the Z06. Now if they were the Z06 then it would be a little lame, or if you put them on a v6 that would be lame but I think it's cool and am getting me a set.
May just order it

RJF and Unit213?? come on guys there is nothing wrong with that Camaro. For being an LT1 body style I think its good lookin. I've never liked the look of the LT1 camaros, but thats kinda nice lookin with that hood and the gfx. My thing is the rims. I've never been a big fan of those rims, but they do look good though. Give the guy some credit.
