Default emblems for billet grill
sup guys, hey i just picked up a billet grill for my NBM Z28. im wondering what type of emblem i should put on it to bring it out. im interested in that big blue bow tie emblem, that i believe is off a 68-69 chevelle, or maybe just thinking of going with a 69 Z28 emblem. lemme know what u guys think?

There is logic behind it.......The SS badge is a symetrical badge that is equal on both sides when cut in half...so it makes sense to center the emblem on the grill.....with the Z/28 emblem there is no happy place, no middle, no equilibrium so the most logical thing to do is off center it, no if the billit was flat on the front instead of having the little bump in the middle i'd say yea center it like ppl do on the shaved bergers, but the grille is not flat so we off center them.
