i say badgeless or custom badges is the way to go.

a friend of mine has a 00 z28. red body, black rear panel, black z06 wheels and no badges. and its one of the nicest fbodys i've ever saw.

F it , you made it LOOK like a 4.5 gen SS might as well run the SS badge if thats how you like it. I seen guys with v6s do the ss wing and hood with the badges, now thats weird but only to people that know fbodies.

All SS's were z28s to begin with few appearance upgrades n suspension, no one is gonna run your vin just to see if your telling the truth. sheesh.



Now Crimson's bird/camaro will have identity problems.

Looks great without the badges imo. I'd take mine off if the previous owner hadn't drilled holes in the fenders to install 1st gen badges.

put ss badges on it and sell it to a retard for too much who thinks a real ss. or you could go really different and put ws6 on the back i think that you might get made fun of for that though

It's YOUR car. Who gives a crap if it's a real SS or not? As long as you don't try to sell it as a real SS. Badge it how you want. Now, IMO, the 1st gen style Z badges are the best looking thing I've ever seen. Fill the holes in the front bumper, offset the retro Z badge, two fender emblems, and slap one on the trunk. Maybe even a LT1 badge on the hood...

I would throw some custom Z28 Badges on it, or go badge-less.

Why do people want to badge their car something it's not? I mean I agree with the "it's ur car do what u want" but don't badge it something it's not... Ur sn has 94 in it.. Not sure if this is the year of ur car or maybe it's a different one.. If it is.. They didn't even make an Ss in ur year... And ur also forgetting that u still have lt1 tail lights.. So yea u will be able to see the difference..i say badge it what it is.. Otherwise it would be just like an integra owner bashing it a type r and it's not.. Just my 2 cents

Bahaha, the age-old SS vs Z28 argument. I won't even clutter the air with my opinion
