Default need opinion's on emblems for berger panel

when i get my berger panel next week i'm either gonna new SS emblems and have a retro Chevrolet emblem on the driver's side, like this:


or get the same Chevrolet emblem and instead of all stock SS emblems on my car i'll remove them and put these on the side fenders and the rear panel:


or should i just put it back stock with the Chevrolet emblem on the drivers side?

retro looks more unique than stock and better. and if you do half retro / half stock i might look really odd. but do whatever you want

Use the old "Chevrolet" emblem like in the pic and get some stainless "SS" emblems from Joshua so that they will match the chrome of the "Chevrolet" emblem.

I'm not even sure that retro SS emblem would fit in that space. I don't have one in front of me or anything, but I want to say they're bigger than the stock one that's on there now.

they all look good, it's really just personal preference. Or you could make all your emblems into magnets and change it up everyday! lol

I think no emblems at all would look best.
