Even with the "Supercharged" badge, I think your lower trunk lid looks too plain without an emblem.
My preference would be a bow tie but I think the modern SS like the one Sparks sells looks good as well. If you decide on replacing your bow tie, I have to second the comments from djcfuzz regarding Lupe at River City Creations. He offers a wide variety of custom painted bow ties and his workmanship is top notch. He did the taillight bezels, bow tie and black ZL1 emblem for my car and I couldn't be happier with the way it turned out.

I got custom painted front and rear bowties... went to put the back one on and decided not to, to me it has a cleaner look and easier to wash & wax without it, same reason I took the fender emblems off, too.

The rear bowtie looks best imo. Sparks SS looks good but too expensive for an emblem imo.

I would just mask off the back of the car with a hefty bag and painters masking tape, then rattle can epoxy paint to the color of choice. I just sprayed mine gloss black.

This was done by the previous owner, retro 69ish if memory still serves me well. Need to remove those little factory SS emblems.

Here is a pic of mine, used carbon fiber wrap! Also put thin clear bra on the lip of trunk lid not to scratch the pain lifting the trunk.

Yeah. One or the other... not both. I prefer the retro look.

That looks good. I like the white, and that's what I have in the front, but I sort of like the look of the red on black. Does it matter much if the front and black colors don't match? No one will ever see them both at the same time anyway.

This becomes a matter of vehicle identification, really. The "stock red SS emblems" identify the car as having the RS Package. White letters denote non-RS Package.

It only matters if it matters to you, but the Red and White do mean something.
