Upside-down SS

I had to laugh!!! I saw a Camaro that someone had put an SS emblem on the fender well and had put it on upside-down. Does anyone notice when this has been done??

I was almost a victim of this when I put a new SS on the trunk. Very easy to think that it does not matter.

I have the same SS badges from SLP. The instructions were very clear about the orientation of the badge. I would think it's pretty obvious when the badge is upside down.

I have seen this a lot both on Camaros and Monte Carlo and Impala SS's. People don't realize that there is a top and a bottom. It drives me crazy because I always see it right away. I usually don't say anything, though.

The emblems that look like the factory emblems are flat and longer on the bottom than the top. If you flip it upside down they read "55" instead of "SS".

The mistake is thinking that guys read instructions.
