Default GM mod

I'm sure most of you won't like this but I do. I was getting a recall takin care of on my wifes car and I stopped into parts to see how much the GM badges were. I thought they were cool so I got a set for 5 dollars. What do you think?




I think it's a nice and subtle look

I'm confused, you got a badge with japanese script on it?

Edit: Still staring at that badge trying to see the "GM" but all I see is a sideways "T" and two horizontal lines on a square silver badge.

I couldnt get great close up pics my camera isn't to good. It's just a silver square with the GM logo like the ones they use on the 06 cars. I figured you guys would already know what it looks like.

Badge would look better on the rear berger panal.

looks alright. I would put it on top of the z28 emblem. I too think they look good on certain generals cars. You and I both need to lower our cars, those rims look kick ***. Are those rims, 17-18 or 18-19?

It is parallel I used a level and a ruler. I admit it does look weird in the pic. I'll have to look at it tommorow. The wheel's are 17-18s and I dont really wanna lower the car. I never understood the appeal of the berger mod. Heres a better pic of the actual badge


I put it where the new Vettes have theirs

Everyone seems to be pulling all their emblems and door trim now-a-days (at least on Firebirds). Maybe you'll start a new trend.....

You know how easily people confuse our cars for Corvettes. Now you'll probably get that a little more often

I think it looks pretty cool, that's exactly where I had imagined one going when the topic came up in a thread not too long ago.

I don't like it there. I was thinking of putting them centered under the body line under the SS on my car. But then again I'm thinking of doing 67 Camaro V flags there which I think would be a better mod. I'm considering a GM Performance badge to put on the tail panel on the left side.

I think it looks nice. But I would put it on the inside of the door where your VIN code sticker is. Sort of like they did on 1970's GM cars with the big blue GM sticker. That is what it reminds me of.
