2017 ZL1 Side Badging?

Jseller · 11-13-2016, 10:22 PM

I have my ZL1 on order. One thing I don't like is that the ZL1 doesn't have any side badges. I feel like the side badge on the SS makes the car look cooler. It helps make the car not look so long. Does anyone else plan on buying an after market badge and putting it on the ZL1? Is anyone else removing the back bowtie? What mods are you planning on doing to your ZL1?

I believe they sell the Camaro Shield as a part for you to put on, if you like.

I do not plan to do so, though...

Move the ZL1 emblems to the fenders, add an aftermarket LT4 emblem to the hood?

A bad photoshop of the idea:

Not perfect, but not horrible...

That actually looks good. I wonder why Chevy left the fenders without any emblems......

Decided to go for a "cleaner" look.

Oh but they put them on the lower left rear bumper. That's just about the most awkward positioning possible. :/

Apparently...the badge back there was required by brass....and they didn't want it on the decklid, as it was too big...looked awful...and the chosen location was one of the only spots it didn't interfere with the backup sensors.

I like the clean look with nothing on the fenders, so I'll probably leave mine the way it is, but that looks good too!

It was also put there for weight. The rear bumper has weight requirements and I guess the badge put them over the top.

I think I'll probably take mine off.

I might as well...still debating that.

Can some other people with photoshop please show some mockups with what an emblem on the side would look like.. what if we put the gen 5 side badging which was the letters
"c a m a r o" on it? I would love to see a bunch of examples!!!! thanks so much!
(also if you could blacken the side mirrors.... I think a lot of people will do that as well)

Will it have ZL1 on it, or LZ1 as shown in the picture?
