Throwing SS Badges on a Z28, wrong or right

The SS package is indicated on a sticker applied by SLP in the door jamb.
What's wrong with a Z28 with SS hood and spoiler? No need to rebadge it. If you do rebadge it, it's a matter of integrity not to sell it as an originally equipped SS car.
Myth. Not even close. They will not and have not gone after anyone on this issue.

There is a collector about 3 blocks down from where I used work at that has a HUGE collection of old school Chevy SS's all. Not a single F-Body in his (actually his wifes) pack. Only one car has a single non-oem part (a fender, perfectly fixed though).
Besides each company having its own SS/RT/SVT is a cool idea. It shows a connection between their products.
Doubt there will be a RT or SRT (whatever they use) Sebring anytime soon though.

I think we're on the same page.

1)Badgeless
2)a "350" Badge, or something of the likes
3)LS1 Badge

If I say I drive a z28 they know what my car is. If you say you drive a supersport. They have no idea. Its just personal opinion.. Trust me I have tons of friends who have supersports. Im not racist against them its just a personal opinion.

That's what I'm talking about. 
clone cars dont matter, all u SS owners should be happy so many people want there cars to be what yours is, it makes yours more special.
im all for it, its a late model camaro that all come with the same motor just the SS has a couple diff bolt ons, its not a rare 67-69 SS. not to metion theres 1000's of fake first gen SS's.
go for the look u want not what other people think.

Just a few points, mostly what has already been stated:
-If someone wants to look like an SS, they should have bought an SS.
-Say what you will, but if one didn't really wish that they had an SS and not a Z28, then they wouldn't make their car look like one. SS owners are not badging thier SS'es as Z28...even though they are Z28s. They can lie to themselves and others all they want, but it's clearly obvious: If someone was not happy with their car as it was, they would not have changed it. Why would someone change something that they liked/were happy with?
-Imitation is the most sincere form of flattery. Run the SS hood and spoiler if you want, but badging it SS is pure fraud.

All of you "proud" SS owners can keep your pretty badges, I personally am proud of the heritage of the Z28, that it was in the first generation the true measure of camaro performance, and that while the SS was gone the Z28 has, as far as I know always been there, dusting mustangs daily. Oh and question...The stripes on our cars that run down the hood and rear deck are Z28 stripes, because it was standard on Z28 cars and for a while the only way to ID a Z. So are all the SS cars out there with stripes posers?

There is nothing really to be jealous of.
Whether is be Z28 or SS is still a v8 camaro no matter which way you cut it.

Ya know, I remember having this argument in HS, except then it was Z28 vs IROC.
