What did you do to your 6th Gen Camaro today?! - Page 414

crosive · 08-30-2018, 01:44 PM

I've debadged my SS. I will be removing the chevrolet emblems as well once I get around to it.

my reasoning: I had way too many kids wanting a piece on the freeway commute I take. too many revs at the lights. I don't care. I don't drive this car to prove a point or to be the baddest on the streets. I drive it for me.

once I removed the badges, all of that stopped.

It's like everyone sees an SS and is like "ooh I hear those are fast, let's see"

now I'm just a camaro. am I an SS? a Zl1? perhaps a 4 cyl? if you know you know, if you don't, well then you don't.

Somewhat generational. Everyone wanted an SS Chevelle, SS Camaro, or Z28 when I was growing up. It meant something special and still does. If you got, flaunt it! Nothing worse than someone trying to pass a Malibu or plain Camaro as something it was not. I guess you could say debadging could be similar to a 69 Camaro or Chevelle COPO (427 with no badging except the bowtie), a sleeper look before you stomp them. To each his own.

Definitely generational.

Lightly Cali dusted top; hood, roof, tops of hips, trunk and back bumper.

I dont think the majority of uninformed non car enthusiast society has any idea what RS, SS, ZL1, or 1LE means. If the car looks like it could be fast, someone will want to play regardless of badges. Just today I had a work van passing me, cutting me off, and weaving through traffic just to get in front of me. What is sad is that type of thing hap pool ens all the time and mostly by trucks, Van's, and POS cars. Maybe they have something to prove, who knows?

For the record I only debadged the Camaro emblems on the fenders and the the front SS. Still have the rear SS and both bowties. Personal preference, I’m a bit ocd so I like balance,flow, and clean lines! I’m still on the fence about the rear SS.

I get a lot of that too. Trucks, vans, beaters. Everyone wants to prove they can run with the big dogs.

I can always tell what version of muscle car I'm looking at, badges or not, but then I've been paying attention to muscle cars for over 40 years now.

Even if I took the SS badges of my car as soon as I cranked it up anyone listening would know that's not a six cylinder car.

That's exactly how I went about debadging mine.

Installed the replacement LED side marker lights from JWM I received yesterday. They are a lot darker than the first set I had. These do match the factory dark taillights closer, but I am not sure yet how well they will stand alone on the sides of the car.

Don't forget soccer moms/dads. I feel like they're the craziest on the road haha. What you described is why I have a dash cam just for some peace of mind.

I’ve had it for a few weeks from Wildhammer Motorsports and finally Installed the Carbon Fiber steering wheel. I absolutely love it.
