Opinions Please: Side Badge Location?

Picked up some Gen1 retro side badges a few weeks ago and would like to know which location would look better - above the line or below the line. I know the Gen1 badges were positioned below the fender crease, but since I'm putting them on my Gen5 I just want what looks best.

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 ye? Thanks.

Below the line looks cleaner, IMO.

I got them from a vender at a swap meet here in south GA. They are brand new GM Authorized badges for a '69.

Having trouble making a decision, however, I think if I could see the entire fender (with the side marker below the crease) I would vote for below, so that is position for which I am voting.

Hmmm... so far, 12 above and 9 below. I'm actually kind of partial to above as well. The large height of the "C" (which is OEM correct) requires it being just a little too low for my eye's liking.

Thanks guys - more opinions welcome (and wanted).

Below. Not even a question. It's the classic script and that's the classic location

That is my biggest concern - that below is the classic location. But then again... it's not the classic car.

I agree... Doesn't belong on a 5th gen Camaro. Belongs back in the 60's.
