Default before and after
So I had an accident a few months back, completely destroyed my front end. One hood, one fender, one front fascia, one front grill, two headlights, two turn signals, a slightly bent frame, 100 feet of wiring, a gazillion brackets, and 7 months later.....its BACK! Woohoo! Car is a Z28 but the donor car was a wrecked SS. Still toying with the idea of de-badging the entire car. And yes, I know its a 4x4, that is next on the list.

Take those SS badges off!

Get some nice Z28 badges, since you have the Z06 wheels get some Z06 Style Z28 emblems, or just leave the badges off, it looks good that way aswell.

Thanks for the opinions guys! I think I will de-badge it, I just personally like the clean look. Maybe even take off the side moldings while I'm at it.

Definitly take the badges off and remove the side moulding while you're at it. They look so much better without it.
