Have you noticed that most the SS and Ws6 owners say it's wrong and most the Z and TA owners say it's ok? I drive a Z and personally wouldn't do it, but if you have all the SS parts, why not? You know how many poser 69 SS's there are out there?

 

I personally just think the SS emblems look better than the Z28's. Seriously i can't believe people bitch about this so much. I truely believe its because people over paid for their SS appearance package. Its not like a Cobra where every single part on the car is different than a GT. I have a 69 Mach 1 and i see people claiming their cars are Mach 1's all the time all i have to do is look at them and i can tell they're not. I don't care as long as they aren't trying to sell me a car thats something its not. I also wouldn't personally care if a guy takes his V6 car and does an LT1 or LS1 swap to it and slaps on z28 badges. If he's done all the work he deserves to put them on there. Just as long as when he sells it he says its an original V6 car.

 

its like putting trans am badges on a formula.. its still an f-body, both kick ***.. stick with the z28.. 69 z/28s are worth more than 69 ss's and who doesnt love 69 camaros... so my ultimate decision would be to... throw some IROC badges on it hahah jk (no offence to irocz's, would just look really funny on an lt1 or ls1)

 

I'm proud of my Z. I like the SS and the extra stuff it comes with but I wouldn't through on the SS badges. I might one day change hoods but the SS hood is my third choose right now but the SS wing now is at the top followed by the RS three piece. It's like GT people upgrading their stangs and adding the Cobra badges. Serials dont match. I think it devaluates the car's worth.

 

Why does everyone want to rice up domestics? We make fun of ricers and the TypeR stickers. Don't do it!!!

 

It's the same car.I see nothing wrong with it.

 

putting ss on a z28 IMO is not all that bad, but i wold never do this to my car. i prefer debadged look, SS or 2z8...just take them off

 

 

Everybody is entitled to their own opinion, but I've personally never seen anything wrong with it. But there is always going to be a critic no matter what you do. I say do what you want as long as when you are asked, you claim it to be a Z28. I'd be proud to own a Z, but that's just it, you own, do what you want. Anyone who customizes a car does it to make it their own, you'll be the one behind the wheel. Oh yeah, and if it's ricer that comments on it, smack em', lol.

 

Ok, this is can be a very confusing subject as everybody likes adding things to their car to make them look better. And I think that's cool, but when you start adding badges to things you get into a grey area. Take for instance a Firebird owner I met at Commerce, he had cloned a 2002 T/A WS6, looked just like it. I beat him in front of God and everybody with MY 1998 GRAND CHEROKEE!!!!! That just looks bad IMO. Here is the real kicker.... I talked to him after the race, and he told me his next clone was going to be a BLACKBIRD!!!!!! Now that is going too far..................

 

Was it red with blk z06 wheels? Cause if it is i work with the kid. What a dork.

 

I don' t see the reason for it. Be proud of what you have.

 

Be proud of the Z!!!!

 

your telling me your 98 grand cherokee beat a ls1 powered firebird?

 

agreed

 

Coming from a restoration family and owning an 01' SS, as well as being a sensible and rational person, I can understand both point of view's.

Driving from car show to car show in my 71' Challenger with my father, we've seen our fair share of clone cars. In shows, they get little respect despite the time and effort they've put into their cars. They could be the most beautiful camaro's on earth, but would get no props from some of these hardcore 'showers.

On the other side, I was one phone call away from getting a z28 instead of my SS. I know as a fact I would have slapped a hood and spoiler on that bad boy. However, at the end of the day I would still call it a z28.

I can see why people would want the SS looks (they're gorgeous!), but be proud of what you own, please.

 

ewww..... that is just straight wrong. almost like a f*ckin transvestite status. no badges no spoiler and NO SS HOOD should be modded on Z/28!!!

 

Damned if you do, Damned if you dont....good thread to get people in a lather.

 

yeah as a matter of fact it did have black wheels.


It was a v-6 firebird.... he was running 16's I was in the mid 15's......

 

this thread should die, dont SSs have Z28 in the rpo code anyways?

Z28s and SSs are both stupid

long live the non Z28 LS1 Camaro!
