Hood emblem location

israelicamaro · 04-26-2018, 06:07 AM

Hello everyone,
I got those LT1 hood emblems for my 17 Indy 500 camaro and I’m debating about the location\placement of those emblems. My two options are:

On top of the hood like lethal camaro
Inside the air vents

I posted pictures of the options but would like to hear your opinions.

Not a fan of the emblems in general, but of the two choices I like them in the air vents. In my opinion I don't think the 6th gen has a big enough cowl bump for the emblems to look right there.

Lethal Camaro has a different hood with more cowl bump and not of fan of his either.

My opinion, "they are large". In the vents they are less bold.
I have SC emblems on my hood, but they are small, it's all about flow.

Not a fan of them in the air vents, looks like its got a booger stuck in there. But I do like your red hashs, very nice!

First off, beautiful car, but be careful not to overdo it. I personally think that adding the emblems will be borderline too much, especially if on the cowl of the hood. Placing them in the vents is a bit less obvious and busy.

Eh, it looks like you've committed the fenders to badge duty. So why not try something unique/retro and put them on the front of the fender where an old-school SS 396 badge would be?

I know not what was asked but I wouldn't put any on.
Emblems can enhance the look as long as it's not overdone. With the emblems on the fender I think its too much.

Take off the Fifty on the sides, and put LT1 in the hood vents? I agree it is a lil' busy with the stripes and all the badging. IMOP

Inside the air vents it is. Essentially it’s less obvious and busy. Thanks for the input and voting everyone.
