Default Which nose emblem for billet grille?

I'm deciding on an emblem to place on my billet grille to go with the black and chrome theme I have going with the car...

I was thinking about doing something like this as I'm sort of out of luck in making my pewter car look bad ***. So, elegent maybe the word I'm trying to go with? (Yes, you can applaud my Microsoft Paint skills)


1. Should I go with the CAMARO emblem


2. Some one suggested this CHEVROLET emblem.


3. Integrate the CAMARO by CHEVROLET


4. 350 emblem as I don't plan to bump up the cubes.


5. Or should I just go with a CHROME BOWTIE in the center



Thanks for your opinions.

You're going to catch a lot of flak for even thinking about the 350 emblem on an LS1 car.

Why, because it's not quite a 350? i mean, it's pretty close. When people ask me the size of my V8, I don't say its 346 cu. in., and I don't like the sounds of 5.7L. 350 works for me

Do they make 346 badges?

No, I'm not going for a classic/retro theme at all. Just a pewter, black and chrome theme. This is my car as it sits now... Soon to be tinted and lowered


I wanted to put something up front because it seems like it's missing something. If I did the Z/28 ones I would want to do it all the way around, but I already have DragonZ's stock-style stainless badges around.
I am open to any opinions if you think theres better options.

take the Z28 emblems off the sides and put one of them off-set in the grille. It cleans up the side of the car and breaks up the plain black grille all in one smooth motion.

I actually like the badges being there. The only concern I have is that they don'e stick out enough, chromeon pewter isn;t much of a contrast.

The chrome bowtie was on ebay, but not any longer. I cant seem to find it now, but was said to be a NOS emblem grille of a 73 EL Camino. I'm searching for NOS products, but I can;t find this emblem anywhere.
