Hot Wheels emblems

Hi All would like your thoughts on Hot Wheels edition.
I wanted one over any other model but when I bought my certified pre owned IOM 2SS Convertible every dealer wanted $4,000-5,000 more.
I see now they are almost priced the same cant trade loss to much so I am thinking about putting on all the Hot Wheels badges and door sills.
What do you all think?

Do what you like to your car if it makes you happy. The emblems are cool

Just kidding.

It's your car. Why do you care what others' think? Some will say don't do it. Some will say do it. What do YOU want to do?

It's your car, you personalize it any way that makes you happy. Don't worry about what anyone else says.

Since I have an LS I've always wanted to get a little hot wheels decal for the back where the RS or SS badges would go. I say go for it!

Personally, I hate it when people misrepresent their vehicle. You bought a beautiful 2SS ragtop. Let it be what it is. Meanwhile, save all your pennies and (if you must) pay the ridiculous extra cash for a few emblems and some ugly wheels.

But, of course, it's your car. Do what makes you happy.

Personally myself, i find "Hot wheels" as a badass statement and a coming of age toy... I say GO FOR IT! Its not like you have a LS or LT with SS badges or ZL1 Badging..

Hot Wheels may be a special production car, but its still a badge you could techincally stick on any car... same goes for Autobot and Decepticon emblems.. I have Decepticon emblems on mine.. There is no version for my car, but i make it my own, and people love it.

You may get a few hardcore camaro owners that have a problem with it, but in my book your not doing anything wrong.
