Default Y82 Emblems

I was thinking about having some made. What do you all think? Anything I should have changed? The letter color can be anything but the rest will be gold or mirror finish.



Edit: Y82 is the RPO code for the merchandised package Trans Am. It's really what separates the different series of firebirds (i.e. Formula, Trans Am etc)

Eh, I wouldnt go for it, we already got WS6,7 and 9 badges (hell maybe even an 11 ) but I dont like how Y82 sounds and you'll probaly spend more time explaining to non-fbody lovers what is y82

Besides that looks like a ZO6 badge (ie for a CHEVROLET)....if you do it do it in the WS6 style. But I wouldnt do it all all. Hell I think "LS1" would look 10x better.

That's kind of the point I want to make. Most non F-body owners don't know what the RPO codes stand for anyhow. Whether it's WS6, WS7, WS9 or whatever. I just thought of doing something unique that nobody else would have. Besides, the car is kind of way beyond a standard WS6 at this point. But I do agree it looks similar to a Z06 badge so maybe I'll have them tweak it a little to have it look more like the WS6 badge.
