Default Retro emblem placement opinions please

Alright, I'm tired of having the 350 emblems on my car and 346 retro-style emblems aren't made. I'm thinking I will move the Z/28 emblems to where the 350 emblems are now and that'll be more like a '69 Z/28 is (although the hockey stick stripes are '69 SS-like). As far as where the Z/28 emblems are now, I figure I could put the 1st gen style "Camaro" script there or I could just leave it blank. What do you all think?

As it is now:


Idea 1:


Idea 2:

Cool, I was kinda leaning this way myself (and it's cheaper)

Keep the opinions coming guys!

If I did that though, what would I do about the 350 emblems? I want to replace them somehow. I don't want to keep them and I can't just leave that area blank with a gap between the hockey stick stripe pieces.

I like idea #2...I think the Camaro script would be too much...understated is always better in my book...

I like how it is now. If you must change, #3. Or, buy a set of 396 emblems and 427 emblems and rob the 3, 4, 6 out of them and use those.

I agree, leave the 69 emblem but change the 350 to 346, just to make old hillbillys wonder

I think idea #1 looks the best. #2 is kinda redundant. Why have two z28 emblems?

Thanks for the opinions guys. I've decided to go with idea #2 for now. I think I'll leave it that way. Still, I have thought about that 346 idea before that you were talking about Nine Ball. I like that idea and have come close to doing it before. I'm not ruling it out - I still may do that in the future but for now I like this option.

Eh? I wouldn't be adding more emblems - just taking the existing ones and moving them to where the 350 emblems are now and not putting the 350 emblems back on.
