My car is a 2SS/RS and I'm proud to strut it as such. Now the bowties are another story, let's just say I hate them on these cars..
True I hope the new Z/28 doesn't have them.

Nothing on this car represents a Z, I don't get how you just slap badges on and parade it as a Z. I think it's an insult. C'mon Len, what were you thinking? I can appreciate your enthusiasm, but you're doing it all wrong. And in your next post, check to make sure your caps lock is off....if you can find it.

LENN, a Z/28 is so not about the badges it wears . . . I suspect you're about to find out how the guys on the Ford side of the street end up feeling when they post up about putting fake Shelby and fake Cobra badging on their non-Shelby Mustangs.

This forum is one of the polite ones.

Hint: compliments from people who don't know the difference between the real thing and a wanna-be aren't worth chasing.


Edit - this is one of those times where it would have been useful for forum public profiles to display a little more information.

Let's get back to center guys. We get the whole clone, tribute idea. What's fine for one may not be for all, and that's all part of custom car creativity. Our premise is that GM does not haphazardly place badges onto cars anymore that has no real meaning, as in decades behind us. fbodfather assured us this will not be the case with Z/28 again. When it returns, the real McCoy will be amongst us no doubdt. Until then, it's cool if someone want's to create their own. Let individuals be themselves.

Re: badging...

Personally (and I've stated it here many times - "Black-on-Black, hold the stripes"), I'm a "sleeper" fan...we don't need no stinkin' badges, or stripes, or differentiators. Just gimme the meat 'n potatoes and hold the gravy...

But in the Real World, those Model doo-dads are mandatory. Just make 'em easily removable, or deletable...

But that's just me. If you wanna add/delete stuff to mod/personalize yours, be my guest.

I'd prefer just the Z/28 badges, black paint, black wheels and red ralley stripes to match my Chevelle.
