Default Honest opinion..

Be honest and don't hold back it's all good. Do the new emblems look alright or negative? I was maybe thinking of putting them next to the Z28 stamp in that area next to it??

I don't like them. I think it would look better with old school Z/28 emblems.

Sorry, don't like any of them.

What's the point? If someone has to walk up and stoop down to read them,
then what's the point? If they dont understand "Z28", then they won't
understand the rest of it.

Get it?

$100 for the set? I don't understand - I'm seeing Photoshopped implants in those photos.

Same reason some people put the Bow-Tie emblem or others on their hood scoop.

You wanted opinions, "positive or negative" - mine wasnt negative, just
an opinion, yet you're offended by the comment. Maybe you're only
looking for opinions that align with yours?

The fact remains - the additional "emblems" dont add anything to the car's
marking (it's a Z28, right?) - actually, I think it detracts from its appearance.

I agree with Caldercay, looks like a photoshop job of some vinyls. If you paid $100 for vinyl stickers, then i've got a few things I could sell you.

As for the look, they don't look anything special, the fender one is slanted (poor photoshopping...?) and they're just plain text. Thumbs down on them, hopefully you didn't really buy them.

The first shot looks Photoshopped. There is a distinct "outline" around the
"Z28" to the "LT1..." emblem. The rest of the car has a darker red shade,
but the "Z28 and LT1 emblem" have a lighter shade of red, which indicates
that there's been some bit manipulation. The other possibility is that
someone wiped the area around "Z28 and LT1 emblem" area before taking
the photo

I don't think they look right. They look too crowded in that spot.

Oh I thought we were looking at the minis. Seeing as I don't own a Camaro, I didn't remember the Z28 emblem was colored. I was trying to figure out why the others looked PShopped (since I do PShop stuff and didn't think the small ones looked PShopped at all...), but yea that Z28 really do look manipulated. And since we're talking about those, and not the ugly extra emblems (or are we? I'm a bit confused), I guess it looks alright, but why not just go out with a permie marker and color over the "28" (few layers to get it dark enough) and see how you like it for a few days.

I'm confused too..lol. I'm leaving the rear one and taking off the fenders. The rear one actually looks a lot better in person. Appreciate the honesty...
