Default SS clone or keep it Z28? Vote it up

So I normally frown upon clones of cars... (caprice claiming SS, crown vic done up like a marauder, ect...)

But I've been seriously considering getting some SS emblems for my z28. The car is going to have an SS wing, SS hood anyway, and idk. Seeing a SS is just way cooler in my mind than seeing a z28. I plan on getting SS badges, SS 3rd brake light overlay, SS seat vinyls, and maybe some other stuff.

The car's a 93 z28, built 383 stroker, bright red w/ black accents everywhere, Xenon body kit, SS hood, SS spoiler, black leather trans am seats. It's already pretty far from a normal Z28 lol






So what do you think... SS emblems, or keep the Z28 emblems?

Yeah I am by no means trying to make an SS clone, I bought the hood and spoiler because they look 1000000 better than the stock Z28's did. But idk seeing the SS badges is just more badass than seeing Z28 imo.

This is a quote from a member here can't remember his screen name but..

"Any car and be a SS, only a Camaro can be a Z28"

Edit: If I had Z28 I would be pimping these from emblempros.com

U say u don't like when other cars do it.. But ur gonna do it to your car? Bottom line is.. U can buy all the Ss stuff and lights and hoods and this and that.. But it's still a z28... Came from the factory a z28 and will die as a z28.. Sorry I'm just not big on that.. I did the same thing.. Ss spoiler Ss hood... Z28 badges all the way around though.. But hey it's your car. It's not like I'll be able to tell if I see ur car that it's a clone.. Excluding the people around ur town and the ones that u hang out with... And another thing u can't change is ur model year.. Can't hide that man.. Sorry like I said.. No disrespect or anything but I vote keep z badges.. But again it's your car

Haha yeah on my first z28 I went badgeless, it looks nice but then everybody thinks it's a V6 lol. With this car everyone will be able to hear it's not a V6, but I want to try something different this time.

Yeah their stuff is pretty sweet, but very expensive. Nothing I've seen on that site peaks my interest enough to justify those prices. They look like really high quality pieces though.

I put the SS spoiler and hood on my last Z28 but kept the Z28 badges and I loved it, now my current car has an SS spoiler and hood and SS badges and I hate the damn things, if you mail me all your Z28 badges in good shape I'll send my SS ones back to you haha.

If you paid for the car then do whatever with it you please, but IMO there's nothing wrong with it being a Z28. I plan on getting an SS hood and spoiler but keeping the Z28 badging.
