Default Ditch the z28 emblems or keep 'em?

I have been debating on ditching the factory Z28 emblems on my Sebring Silver Z28. I have a berger panel, ss spoiler, blacked out tails and SS led, CME, halo's and 5% tint. I currently have factory chrome 5-star's but am getting a good deal on some factory silver ZR1s. I think removing the emblems would make it look really clean, I have already removed the side molding. I guess it "could" be a sleeper look but with a 402, long tubes, ORY and an open cutout there is really no question and ditching a badge wouldn't do to much. So, keep or lose em?

I say keep the stockers. I always liked the look of the black Z28 emblems on the lighter colored cars. If you do get rid of the stockers, go with the Z06 style.

You could always just ditch the side emblem's, and leave the 1 in the back....I saw a Z28 the other day at the gas station that had it just like that. It look's very clean, and you do get that "sleeper" look somewhat.....

Remove the side moldings, but keep the stock Z28 emblems. Sounds like you have some nice exterior mods.

Ditch all emblems except the red bowtie on the back. The stock Z28 symbol looks dated, your car will look a lot cleaner minus the emblems.

Either ditch them or go with a different style. I've never liked the look of the factory emblems.
