Something different-2nd gen Z28 Emblems I see a lot of guys using 1969 Z28 emblems on thier 4th gens.....I like that a lot but I don't like how big the emblems are. I decided to try a set of early 2nd gen Z28 emblems. I've only put one on the grill for a trail fit. I'll post more
as I get them on the car.
Has anyone else tried these emblems? Ay pics?

A shot of the rear.....the flash went off so my fill-ins reflected. I'm thinking of taking the bowtie off, what do you think?

Im not diggin where you decided to put the rear emblem. I feel it ruins the balance on the back of the car. It should either be on the far right of the far left, but thats just my opinion as long as you like it, thats all that matters.

Well, it is curved there and the emblem would have to be bent slightly to rest true. And since the emblem is pot metal, I did not think it would be a wise idea. I have seen several 4th gens with the '69 emblem in the same place as mine, and really did not think it was a bad place.

That sounds like a good idea. Thats certainly where Id put mine if I had an emblem on the back of my car.

I think I would move it on the other side of the bowtie

And that position would be helpful if Texas forces me to have a front license plate

Either way, those emblems look great. Nice and subtle
