Looks good.

Do you have the new SS emblems anywhere else, or just on the grille?

Exactly what I was thinking, if he had 'em all around I'd love to see more pics on how they replace the "old" style emblems. If not, I think it'll look out of place having the new on the grille, and the old everywhere else.

Hmmm, I wonder what it would look like putting a pinstripe around the new emblems to give 'em that "retro" feel like the old emblems...

Here's a shot of the rear, new style SS badge in center of shaved berger panel.



And a 3/4 frontal, little blurry though.



These are from the '06 SuperSport Montepala's and two sizes are available. The larger SS are 14 dollars or so and the smaller SS are around 9 dollars.

I suppose they could be painted any color you want them to be, I've never seen them in different colors.

I painted it semi gloss black. I'll more than likely be touching up on a regular basis.

That answers my question about the grille. That looks Unbelievable. I have never been a fan of the newer badges but I had never seen them on our cars like that. I have a black SS and I might be stealing your idea... It really does look great!! Nice job!!
