Who is repositioning the SS badge?

Just wondering if anyone else feels that the rear SS badge is in the wrong spot?

My rear Badge is on my dash now, its rediculous where its mounted on the rear.


And apparently there are some people at GM that should thought it should be on the trunk, because this was in their dealer rollout sales documents:

I am not a huge fan of the 3 stripe Camaro Badges on the sides. I may replace those with SS emblems. Back placement doesn't bother me all that much, but i do think "Summit White SS" found a slightly better spot for it.

those came off of my car in the first 20 min or ownership...they are ok on some colors, not mine....emblempros or rivercity creations can make you OEM badges to replace...I cleaned up the front too, chrome gone, badge gone, nothing on entire car except black bowties...

How is the back bow tie mounted? Screws or adhesive? I was thinking it might look good to move the SS to that position kind of like the 1st gen SS.

My Camaro emblem on the passenger side is slightly off (not straight). The driver side one is perfect. I thought it was just my eyes then a friend came down to check out the car and I eventually asked if he thought it was off. His reply... "Yeah, I noticed that, but didn't wanna say anything" lol. Might leave it. Gives it character for now.

Side note, I'm not a fan of the placement and told the reps at the find new roads tour it looks better on the trunk lid. Was told they received much of the same feedback, but also received complaints that it looked to cluttered there. Guess they listened to the "cluttered" crowd.
