There is nothing wrong with it, if you like Super Sport more than Z option 28 then by all means put an ss hood and wing on. who cares, its not like there is an engine difference, its just an apearance package, like me having an RS Z28 and taking off the rs kit, does that make me a poser?
ahhh but the VIN tells the truth my son.....thing is, if u want a SS....buy one.....a z28 with a SS spoiler and a SS hood is just a good lookin Z......but a Z28 with SS badges......thats gay...
Thats totally wrong.. If they were to badge the car as a Z06 then its stupid.. No one with Z06 rims are saying they are a corvette..

throwing a set of SS badges dont make it SS though you have the SS things, just like a tranny isn't a woman though it have ***** and high heels,
for me.. i always looked at the Z as the Badass.. and SS the.. poser/looker,
i like the Z,

IMO i dont see why... be proud of yer z28.... everyone talks ss'es so much anyway when really theres no difference but what a hood and a spoiler.... thats why i got my z28.... that couple thousand dollars for a hood n spoiler package isnt worth it.... but do what you want

It's been this way since ever.
Put the bades on if you want to, but I would definately advise against it.
Why would you want to?
It's an SS Clone, not an SS.
If you want to put SS(clone) badges on, then do it.
Be proud that you bought a Z, and did the appearance mods yourself.
That's a good thing.
Buying it modded from the factory isn't impressing anybody.

...i have a sunoco planned for mine with a LT1 style SS spoiler....just like the look of that lip
I've got a Z28 with a 98+ SS hood and spoiler. Doesn't mean that I claim my car to be an SS. If I were to actually put an SS badge on my car, that would be making an incorrect statement.
I think many years down the road, it wont be such a big deal because you see sooo many camaro SS clones from the 60's at car shows today but still, its what comes from the factory that counts, the numbers dont lie.
