I personally like the badges. I wish I could afford some of the ZR1 Style ones from emblem pros. But his are pretty nice. I don't care for de-badges cars. I think its fair to give the guy in the next lane a little warning if the exhaust isn't enough

Great looking Z28 bud!
I musy say we both have equal taste here. I just got back from Korea after 2 years and I had my SOM Z repainted and had some custom body work done to clean the car up. See if you notice what is missing. By the way, I am from NY so if we are ever in the same area, our two cars should meet for a photoshoot.
Here's a few of mine:
BTW: The hood is getting refitted and adjusted so it is flush, I ran out of time on leave and now I am back in Iraq.

After:
Here's The Thread For All The Details.
Cheers!

You just got back from Korea? Wow. I just asked for Yongsan, South Korea, and got it. I'm just waiting on the Request For Orders to make it official. I should be there by this summer and I'll ask to be there for three years if I can. It's one of the greatest cities that any military base can be around. If I can, do you think I should bring my Z28 or GTO?
Your car looks awesome. I like how everything matches in your smoke/black theme. And the t-tops definitely make the car look even better. Awesome attention to detail too with the black on the Sunoco sides matching the black center line in between the t-tops. Amazing.
Where in NY are you?

I live in upstate NY (Syracuse) and I would definetly bring the car you could car a little less for. I know that's a rough choice but trust me, I have been to Yongsan a lot and I can tell you that Koreans are the craziest drivers ever. The streets are narrow and they wait for no one, they have motorcycles/mopeds everywhere and they are known to side-swipe cars and just keep on going. On base is really nice, but I would recommend bringing the GTO. I was stationed at Osan Air Base for 2 years and I hated life. But that was because you couldn't bring a car and I had to live on base in the dorms (as an E-5). It's a good time, but for anyone who is a car enthusiast, Korea sucks. I would recommend doing 2-3 years but no longer than that. 2 years was plenty of time, and remember motorsports are almost none existent in Korea. I come home from Iraq sometime in the Spring so I will be back in NY during the summertime. We should meet up before you leave, and I can fill you in on everything you would need/want to know about Korea.

However, Ryan's winter class starts the week after and I don't think he'll have time to drop it off and then pick it up until his winter class ends on the 15th. His spring classes start on the 18th. It looks like Monday, January 17, will be the best time for him to drop off the car.
I'm going to ask you later if you can help him out with dropping off the car and picking it up. Thanks.
