Default PICS of new front end emblem

I've been wanting this emblem for a while now and I just installed it today,
it's a '71 - '74 CAMARO header panel emblem from YEAR ONE.

It's a pretty delicate install...
I had to trim the bumper with a DREMEL for the new emblem to fit flush like the factory emblem.

What do ya'll think?

I used some 3M green tape as my border, but I've got a steady hand.

No going back now, but I wouldn't want to go back to ordinary.

Too many people confuse "classic" with being "old". Classic means "timeless", much like alot of the Camaro icons from previous generations. I dig it. The blending of new and classic is very cool. As long as it's done right, of course.

I find it no different than those who have the classic SS and Z28 badge put on their grille or rear panel along with the Camaro badge.

This one I haven't seen before and it looks good so props to you man
