Default how's this for berger panel???

Im fixing to order some ZO6 "Z28" style badges from Brent Franker and i wanna get them exactly like these in the pic below....



I was wondering though, would it look good on the berger panel??? or should i get a 3rd one switched out to the chrome on the outside and z in red and 28 in black??

Not really feeling the emblem. I actually got out of just throwing emblems on my car. I've got more emblems under the hood than on the outside of the car. Color of your car and what kinda shine are you going with on the berger? Flat, semi gloss, gloss, etc...............

Aren't those just vinyl decals? I didn't think Brent made real emblems.

yeaa they just are decals. i shouldve labeled them as decals instead of badges, but im just curious as to how it would look on the berger panel in the same style as in the pic.

you would basically only see the chrome behind the red Z and the 28's in chrome. the rest in black would blend in with the berger.

I'd say going with a 3-dimensional emblem should be at the top of your list. Don't put a sticker on your car...it just doesn't look as good and can make or break the look. Spend the extra money and buy real emblems.

Checkout After though auto----->

Link is on the sponsor list they got some cool **** there. Personally id go with there stainless steel z28 emblems if you want shine. If you want Interior or exterior **** id look there 1st seriously. They got almost anything you could think of for your car and they do custom orders i belive.

I don't think that will look very clean at all. The best one I have seen so far is my friend who did a black berger panel and put 1st gen Z28 emblems on it, one on the front driver's side of the grill and the other right in the middle of the berger and it looks really clean. Also has the side Z28 emblems removed. His car looks really clean and flows well. Photobucket is blocked here in school right now so I will try and get some pictures up later tonight or if he see's this before I'm sure he will post them!!!

I was going with these becuz i believe someone has them on here....i forget his name. he's got the red z28 w/ sunoco hoods & c5 zo6 wheels.

These get my vote. Polished would look good too. I have the exact same ones, only they say "405hp" instead of 5.7 liter.
