Question Need opinions on these emblems....

Do you think these emblems would look good on a NBM camaro? I'm having trouble picturing them on my car. My brake calipers are red/silver and my chrome zr1 wheels have the centercaps w/red bowtie, so there's red accents on the car already but don't know if these emblems would be too much. Would the same emblems minus the red look better? What do you guys think? TIA!!

Those emblems are awesome.

I have a NBM Camaro with the early 70s-style Z28 emblems on it, and I think the little bit of red looks pretty good....



Since the bowtie on my grille, and on the wheels is red, it blends in well.

Just trying to give you an idea of what a little bit of red will look like on a NBM car. I say go for it!

If you keep some red on your car, then they would look great(like calipers and rear bowtie). If not then plain with no red would look better, just need some things to go with it. What really sets off the Blue Camaro above is the red bowties in the wheels, so makes the red Z look much better.

Thanks for the pic Octanez28, your car looks just like mine minus the ground effects so after seeing yours I think it's gonna look good. Now if any of you can come up with ideas on how to convince my wife that I need $110 emblems for the car, I'd appreciate it! Thanks guys!
