Berger chevrolet (a chevy dealer in Michigan I think) came out with SS's that had the panel painted satin black.

Most just pick up a extra one or use their original. Then paint it themselves or have it painted.

I painted mine myself

Here's my car by the way:



I have chrome CAMARO letters coming and am going to replace all the factory Z28 badges with the 1974 style Z28 emblems (red Z with chrome 28).

I was wondering what to do about the bowtie, you answered my question !

Well, you will have as soon as you actually answer my question about what the bowtie is off of !

Yeah, Berger Chevrolet was in Grand Rapids, Michigan. They hold a show every summer, maybe even more than once a year, but all the people with Bergers like to show up and such... it's a cool event. Next time I go I'll take tons of pics.
