HAHA...I voted 'below', but now I think 'above'.

I vote above. New location pays homage to classic Camaro, but matches the style of the modern car better!

Ha! If only I could. I just prefer the smooth curves of the retro badges (all of them) to the angular badges (all of them) of the 5th Gen.

Now, if I can just find a way to replace that little "SS" on the steering wheel...

Right. I was in a hurry to beat the rain and just slapped it on there for the photo. Thank you.

I have those emblems too, I'm going to put them below, not a fan of the Gen 5 block letters. Even if you base it on historical Gen 1, you can go either, the '68 had that script above, the '69 below...

24TBARKER · 03-13-2015, 08:43 AM

I put mine below.

Some guys here put the 60's crossed flags on their 5 gen Camaros. They don't
realize those came on some Chevy Biscayne 4 door station wagons...

Like it Above!!!

Below and closer to the door. Either centered between the fender/door gap and wheel well or centered between the fender/door gap and outer radius of the fender flare.

I like those retro side emblems and will change out the modern block emblems. But again, I don't care for the bowties either.
