Default Going back to stock hood and spoiler

I currently have an SLP oem SS hood and spoiler - I feel kinda weird having these on the car since its actually a Z28. Ever since they've been on the car I've felt that the car should return to a stock exterior (I still have stock hood and spoiler). My wife and kids tell me, no way but I feel stronger about it each day. I plan on keeping the car and only driving it on nice days.

Am I crazy for thinking this way ?

Something like this.



I think you should leave it on. If you arent badging it as a ss then there isnt a problem. Of course i am a little bias

Car still has the Z28 emblems on it, just figured that I should have just bought an SS if I wanted one but they didn't make them in monterey maroon metallic.

Anyone with any bit of knowledge about f-bodies will see you bought a hood and spoiler for appearance and not to make your z28 a replica ss... There's not much difference between the two at all anyways so why sweat it and if you like it who gives a eff what anyone else thinks anyways? My vote is to keep it!

Yeah, as long as you don't put the badges on, you'll be fine! Don't waste all that money, and sell it for less than what you paid. You'd be crazy if you did!

Throw these badges on it and call it your own. Do what you want and what makes you feel proud. As long as there aren't any SS badges on it, you should be good.

OH MY GOSH, someone actually made those. I can't believe it. I wanted to do the exact same thing when I had the Z06 wheels on my car, but didn't know where to go for a custom badge. That is sweet. I might have to get them anyways

Yeah, as long as you don't put the badges on, you'll be fine!
Yeah, like these people around here that put Corvette badges and stuff on their Chevy Trucks

I went through the whole appearance thing too. I got too worried about parking the car places, the track performance sucked (heavy *** wheels), but if you aren't worried about stuff like that and you don't need the money then leave it if you like it. I miss having a Cowl hood on my car, but i think it would look funny having a hood like that with stock wheels so I swapped it for a stock hood. But for the money you spend buying the hood new, getting it fitted and painted, you will not get that money back when you sell it.
