Ok I'm asking for it.

So I'm sorry if you are a fan of the Chevy bowtie. I am not. So I decided to try something I haven't seen yet.
I bought an GM OEM Gen 2 Camaro Eblem, then removed and painted black the SS badge from the bumper.
Hate it or like it?

I just ordered the black taillights and a black blade spoiler. I think it will look good once those get installed.

Wow looks awesome I would go just with the Camaro. The SS Font doesn’t fit. The red looks

One of the other, not both, Because you are using two different fonts and sizes, The eye will never see it as centered…

No. The Camaro font clashes with the SS font.

This 100%.

...and if you go with just the SS, look for a slightly larger emblem.

Both makes it look off balance.

The Bowtie has been on the Chevy since 1913..who am I to change it?
And if the Bowie was good enough for a 57 Chevy, a 69 Camaro or a 70 454 Chevelle then its damn sure good enough for my Camaro!
