I think the 69 style Z28 badges would look sweet.

I did the 69's they look great IMO compared to the stock Z28 badges. Keep in mind when you get them they have 3 pegs that have to be cut a grinded smooth. And the badge itself has a slight curve in it so your gonna have to use a rubber hammer to get it flat enough to mount with whatever tape you plan on using.

I would go with a chromes with black or red z/28 emblem.

I used to think a camaro without badges looks cheap. Now, im in the same boat as you, thinking of debadging. But i may end up putting on some different emblems. Im considering the chrome ones. Post pictures of you car when you decide the way to go. I know you didn't ask but i would take off the side molding, would make a nice improvement.

I thought about getting some of the ZO6 Z28 emblems, they'd look the best, but I decided on chrome laser-cut emblems that look like the factory ones, because I got all 3 for $30 shipped from a guy on camaroz28.com.

I have a NBM Camaro, the black Z28 emblems look terrible with my car's color.

I'm going to take them off and MAYBE replace them by old school badges.

I think you should get the zo6 z28 badges since you ever see those around here and definetly get rid of the side molding, it looks a lot better imo

yea i will take the side molding off eventually but the regular black z28 emblems on my NBM dont look good to me so its either 69 style z28 emblems or the new z06 style z28 emblems, poll? "69" or "z06"??? give me your opinions. im also getting a SS hood and spoiler this weekend if that helps.
