If you're going to replace them with old school z28 badges then sure, go for it. Otherwise it looks terrible, want a cleaner look? Remove the side molding.

I still have my molding and badges.

I guess I still like crap.

But, if the molding starts to fade it is gone.

I like the badges personally. Some people will think it's a 6 banger until you gun it. I would think of custom or overlays if you want something different. That wasn't an option on your poll though...

I voted no. It just looks a bit too plain. Now if you add a 69 emblem Z/28, then that would look killer. Im still waiting to do this mod to my car. I've thought about taking the 4th gen badge off too, but it just wouldn't look like a Z/28. But its all up to you.

I have a black '02 z28 and liked the red badges on the ss. So I just ordered some red overlays tonight. I wouldn't feel right pretending it's an ss I'll just spice up the z28 badges. BTW Texas 02 that v6 looks sweet.

Yeah man, most of it is just adhesive. It may not needed buffed. I was worried about the paint under the molding being in better condition than the rest. I took mine off last week because I was having my car buffed anyway, once the adhesive was off it looked fine.

lol, hell yeah dude, thank you.

I love it when people rev at me at lights thinking it'd be a good race, lol. I wonder how many of them have gotten into an fbody since then, thinking that the v6's were insane.
