SS badging your C5 Camaro - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

As Mike Joy would say (Barret-Jackson Auction), " Back when ...")

Replace your bowtie emblems with Chevy SS emblems, this changes the looks of your C5 Camaro dramatically. It sets your C5 Camaro apart from the rest.

Removing the front grille and rear panel bowtie emblems with authentic Chevrolet SS emblems is easy and what makes it nice Chevy designed the C5 Camaro allowing you to return back to the bowties since no permanent modifications are performed.

I'm not sure why others haven't figured this out.

Note: this is "not" the SLP SS badge kit. SLP basically uses decals that are flat. These are authentic Chevy SS emblems from 1st gen Camaros made of metal (albeit aftermarket reproductions). Keep in mind you need to do a little grinding easily done with a Dremel tool.

Take a look

I want to do this but with red 5th gen badges indicating the RS package.

I don't think that's a problem, RS emblems from 1st Gen Camaros are available same as the SS emblem, check with Classic Industries or Rick's Camaro.

I want red SS emblems in the new 5th gen font. As of right now no one makes them for the grille or the back. There is a couple of companies that are working on them.

I guess you could paint the white with high gloss red.

I bought an SS emblem the other day that just tapes on without the pins...Cost like 14 bucks at the dealer

But they are not in the 5th gen font. What I mean is the way the red SS's look on the stock vehicle. I need them exactly like that only bigger for the grille and rear.

I remove the pins with the Dremel tool and use two sided adhesive 3M tape. Can you show a picture of your SS emblem, is it a decal or metal?

Try the Trailblazer SS font, gm parts direct. I bought one ebay, but ther are none on there now. It was $15. It is the new font.

ttexxan · 01-24-2010, 07:49 PM

Its the one cuspid is refering to off the old trailblazer...I will try to find a pic it came with adhesive on it

csjcsj · 01-24-2010, 08:35 PM

why do you need multiple ss emblems? rather have the bowtie and the ss emblems. not 50 million ss's all over it...... Just my opinion

tjmac49 · 01-24-2010, 08:38 PM

I do like the retro look! Good job.
