Default New Z28 badge,



Decided to be different, put it in a different spot and use a different color than red. Matches my wheels too,



Yes it's a truck

^Gotta agree

And having the "Camaro" shaved without shaving the key hole makes it stand out in a way that a key hole never should...

Emblempros. Decided I'd try something different, I'm tired of seeing the same **** honestly. There's few cars that stand out anymore everything's so cookie cutter

Nothing wrong with doing something different. As far as the out of place thing, I think it a bit too close to the light. Feel it'd look better 1-2 inches to the left. And I think it'd look drastically better with the key hole removed, because it being there, combined with the placement of the badge really gives the panel an oddly cluttered/disorganized look in that area on an otherwise really clean panel.

If you enjoy it though, that's all that matters

never mind what I said about the badge placement.. I think it looks fine, just get rid of the key hole! here's a quick PS (gave the black
a bit of a deeper color as well)

it's the little details that make all the difference

I like it. It matches the rest of the car. I say get rid of the key hole and maybe put the emblem in the middle. On a side note what tires are those?

^^^ Much better placement.. fyi WS6store I believe has smooth lock covers in glossy black that are adhesive and stick pretty well to the locks. I used to have some they were nice. That way you don't have to bondo over the lock area etc.

I like it did, it myself that way. I'll be the one to say it looks weird in the middle imo. I still have the keyhole too! Glad to see someone else doing it different!!!

Actually yours was the inspiration for it. I liked the fact that the color of the badge was different than the car itself

I think the fact that there is a different style z28 on the licence plate troughs it off aswell, ditch the plate frame.

i say ditch the Z/28 and put the correct emblem on the car, the Z/28 name wasn't used during the 4th gen era

I'm sure he knows that.. it's not like it carries a different meaning, just a different emblem design.. Z28 = Z/28
