Winner.

I hate badges. They snag towels, hide water and trap dirt. Car is so much cleaner looking.... we're still talking about cars though, right?

Just didn't seem right GM didn't put them there from the get-go.
You had a body shop install 2 tiny badges with tape on your car?

I wouldn't mind just the SS (if I had one) without the Camaro - peope know it's a Camaro and it wouldn't look cluttered with only the SS. Like my Mustang just says 5.0.

Yeah but it's not a Mustang. The 1 gen Camaro's had both the lettering with the SS emblems below.....its all personal preference, some folks like to black out or remove every badge, not my cup of tea but that also seems to be popular.

Looks good.....my very first car was a 1964 black GTO with a 389 & Tri-power. Should have kept that one.

This! Looks way to plain/boring "shaved" as some say!
My women on the other hand.

I like the SS badges on the fender. But if it were me I'd put in a badgeless Heritage grill in the front and remove the SS in the rear. Then ditch the Camaro on the fender.

I did the same thing, definitely looks like it should have been there from the start.
