Not sure about rear bow tie - Page 4 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

My car originally came with the red emblems but I personally like the look of the white badges better. I prefer that they match front and rear.

Well, here's the "real" (non photoshopped) pic with the emblems off. It looks a little weird, but I think it's because I'm used to something being there. I think I'm going to put some kind of "SS"emblem in the center. Not sure how that'll look with the "supercharged" but I'll wait and see, I guess.

Slap some vinyl on that bitch.

Rear bowtie removal doesn't look right. Sorry. Something needs to be there.

Just debadged mine!!

FireCracker · 06-22-2013, 04:27 PM

Eh, I think it looks really plain and with just he supercharged it seems sort of, off balanced lol

I think there should be something there though. I don't like naked butts!

I really liked that pic of the camaro across the back instead of an emblem, that looks awsome!

Personally I dislike all badging on painted surfaces. I completely debaged mine and I love it. I hate washing my car only to have the water pool around the bagdes, then leave drip marks.

BTW, the one on the front is upside down.

I like the look of this red on black

Agreed, Though I didn't get my bowtie from Lupe but I did get the ZL1 badge and tail light bezels painted from there. Here's a picture I took a while back

My preference would be a bow tie but I think the modern SS like the one Sparks sells looks good as well.

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.

That is really sweet! Love that bowtie on that color! The blacked out ZL1 emblem is awesome as well.

I'm tempted to put "camaro" lettering across the back, remove the fender emblems and put "supercharged" there, but I think I'm just going to to the white Sparks SS on the rear to match my front. I like that it's sort of old school meets new school.
