It looks cleaner, but I left my side molding on b/c it's a little more protection for the doors, and the ******** where I work don't care about their vehicles and will fling their doors open and hit other cars. I almost beat a guys *** one morning b/c he hit my car with a door.

That can be a good thing. The Camaros can pull off the sleeper look.

I personally like the setup from stock. I changed out the letters to grey instead of the nbm.

I finally decided to debadge my Z28 today. I took off both sides, but I left the rear alone. I also took off the moldings a while ago, so now I think it looks nice and clean.

I actually ordered some second gen badging for mine today. The sleeper look was fun for a while but i don't do alot of street racing and would rather have the badging on. although i would rather be debadged then have the factory badging on it, it just looks cheap to me.

yeah if it was an SS i would have left the badges on but I really don't like the way the Z28 badges look, they are straight out of the 80's. I might toss some older badges on it if I come across some I like.
