Is it posing to put on SS badges

put those SS emblems on it ASAP

puting zr1's on your z/28...posing? no, you have a z/28 with corvette wheels
puting SS emblems on your z/28...posing? yes, you just tried to fool people into thinking you have an SS
see the difference?

Well what really seperates an SS from a Z28?
They're basically the same aside from a few suspension parts that your gonna change anyway, and some appearance mods which it sounds like you already took care of....So badge if you want, but don't call a true SS, just a clone

are you just mad that you paid 2k more for your car when someone could buy a Z and put stick on SSs on it and look like yours?
if you painted your car hugger orange, and it was originaly black, and you told people your car was hugger orange, by your same logic, you shouldnt tell people that its hugger. you should say that its a black car painted hugger and if you say anything diffrently you are lying and degrading the specialness of a hugger car
the guy isnt saying he is going to activly tell everyone he has a real SS, but when he tells people what his gf drives he should say SS if it has the spoiler, wheels, hood and SSs

On second thought, I myself wouldn't put the badges on......but I don't know if its posing, maybe gay though.....its not like the SS is a limited production car, its just a freaking appearance package, just like the WS-6

its a hood, a spoiler, a grille.....two pieces of steel under the car that are still not good enough for racing and some plastic letters

Lets be honest though, people are gonna do whatever they feel like to their cars and if they feel like they have to have the badges to let everyone know what they dont have then so be it. I wont be losing any sleep over it.

This thread needs to die now...it getting entirely to long...lol 
Man this thread is gay!! 
Do what she wants, it's her/your car, I would personally never do it, it's pretty retarded to pretend you have the real deal when you don't. And I'm not mad I paid for the real thing, I have one of 2 optioned the way I did, I have one of 422 (something like that) Hugger Orange SS's, and that's worth more to me than having a base Z28 (and to a potential buyer). I don't like the looks of the Z28, and wouldn't want to put up with poor fitment, paint jobs, etc, etc of adding the parts afterwards.
A couple people in this thread are just blind.
