I love the clean, de-badged look. This was one of the first things I did. To be honest that black retro badge looks amazing too!!

Kiteman, sorry your vision is so limited. Some of us bought V6 Camaro's because we like the body style and the V6 suited our driving needs. Paid cash for my preorded V6, could have paid cash for a V8 SS, could have had either with the RS package. I preorded my V6 without the RS because I did not want a spoiler (dealer offered me the RS package for free) to get it my way and because I loved the body style. Did not need or want a V8, or RS package, or spoilers, or body kits, or stripes. Did kick in a few bucks for polished 19-inch rims only because I like polished rims and I wanted all season tires.
First month of ownership I removed all bowties and scripts. Only because personally thought my auto looked better without. It was a personal decision and would have done the same if I bought a V8 SS.
Do not want to get into why a person, such a you, feel so superior driving a V8. Do you feel the need to advertise you have a V8 and must confirm to strangers you think you are better than others with billboarding your ride with scripts?
