Same here. They were gone within two weeks.

I appreciate all the responses and voting. "Below the crease" is starting to pull away. I truly like either location and still on the fence. Tough decision but I could always change locations after trying one, if I don't like it.

Yep, below and centered...

I've come back to this a few times today before I decided. I think I like the below the crease better assuming you center it more. But it's almost a tie to me.

below....and be sure to level it

Fear not! It will be parallel to the crease (not necessarily "level") and centered between bottom edge of the wheel well and door gap, regardless of above or below. Thanks.

I may need to change my vote to below the line, but I'm not sure what emblem I would put there.

These are just taped on and I realize they are not centered or parallel to the crease. I just took the pics to get an opinion. What say

Below the line is best looking IMO

Wow! 55% to 45% in favor of below the crease. I am actually surprised it is that close after so many votes. So... you see why I asked for opinions. I think both positions look good, but the "retro look" lover in me knows the badges should go below the crease.

LuSe4 · 03-14-2015, 05:27 AM

Definitely, without a doubt below.

I was a little undecided til a couple members posted their photos. Definitely below. I am furiously trying to find some SS side badges in inferno orange. Not having any luck. And for those of you that have the stick on badges. How do they hold up? ie car wash etc?

Get with Roger @ EmblemPros, he can do any design for you.

I changed out all my ZL1 badging to black emblems from Roger and they stick on great, same as stock. No issues with washes.

Doesn't belong?

The styling of the 5Gen Camaro is influenced by the 1960's Camaro, specifically the 1969 model, which of course you know.

Just how an additional nod to the heritage of the car is something that 'doesn't belong' seems odd to me. The car has the stupid rear quarter gills for crissakes, but the nameplate from the year in which those gills were used is out of place? Strains logic to my mind. It seems your problem is one of purity. I hate rulebooks for the sake of having rulebooks.

Let's not lose focus over the fact that this is a piece of minor trim.
