HP cowl badge - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

seminolejon · 07-10-2012, 02:03 PM

I'm interested in honest opinions. I'd like to add a badge, but also don't want to cross a "tacky" line. I've attached a pic of the proposed badge.

And please no V6 bashing for gosh sakes.

Thanks for honest input.

PERSONALLY, I think that badge would look better on the edge of the trunk lid on one side.

I prefer engine size on the cowl, especially since your HP can change easily

DBBoopster · 07-10-2012, 02:21 PM

I think you should leave it off.

This. I think a 3.6L would look better on the cowl.

If you want to add it, by all means go for it. It's your car!

I probably wouldn't do it to mine, but as I said, nobody has an opinion that really matters except you.

DING, DING, DING!!!! We have a winner, lol. This is the way I went since I'm planning on some upgrades in the future that would change my hp numbers.

thanks for the honest input so far people. Wow, the poll is a landslide. I do like the "3.6" idea.

Agreed, HP shouldn't go on the hood cowl... Engine size should IMO.

If I were to put something on the cowl it would be the engine size... If it were a v6 car, I would choose 3.6L over the actual cubic inch displacement. V8 car, either 6.2 or 376 would be good imo... I was debating making new hood stripes, with the 376 actually cut out of the stripe in the position it would go on the cowl.

V8 or V6, modded or stock, I don't like the look of extra badges that didnt come on the car from the factory.
