Default Thinking about updating my badgeing to the newer style SS/Bow tie badges. thoughts?

I really dig the new style SS badge, seen on the new camaro/cobalt/etc. so i was thinking about upgrading from the the old school SS badges, to the new stuff. along with that i thought about putting on 2 "newer" black style chevy bow ties on the front grill and tail panel. I really dig it.

New Badges




Current

I like the bowtie on the berger panel better then the SS but I don't like the new style fender bagdes at all. They look like 5's more then S's.

I like the new badges a lot but on your car you already have such a nice setup I wouldn't bother switching, your car looks great.

I hate the bowties on the front back though, the SS looks much better.

I would worry more about lowering your car for an appearance change.

thanks for the input and compliments guys! i might just put the bowtie on the front, hell i'll just snag a bow tie from the LKQ around the corner and see what it looks like, just kind of placed on the front.
