How would this look?
I have a Red '96 Camaro Z28, RS Spoiler, Rear Fill-Ins, stock otherwise in appearance.. Just picked it up a few days ago and I've been thinking about different things that would make it unique, but not over the top if you know what I mean.. And definatly not ricey.. So what I came up with first was to get a billet grill and find a 67-69 Z/28 badge for the grill and mount it on there..
This is the badge style I'm talking about:

I'd just have to find one that I could mount on a billet grill.. Which leads me to another question, where can I find a quality grill for a decent price? The only place I've seen that has one in the style I was lookin for is RK Sport, but it's about $150 and that seems high. Here is a picture of that one: http://www.rksport.com/image_detail....ize=mid&rank=d
It is not exactly what I was hoping for, but similar...
Anyway, I just wanted some input on the idea, maybe someone has seen it done before.. I was also thinking about trying to work that emblem into the interior a little bit somehow, but so far I can't come up with many subtle ideas.. I don't want it to stand out like a sore thumb, I want it to look like it was there all along... But maybe floormats, or something involving the glove box - I think that one would be hard to do in good taste though.
Do you think any of this would turn out good?
Thanks.

That one looks good too.. I was also thinkin of the Z06 style badges that someone had made, I think they have a site on cardomain or here on cz28.. But right now the Z/28 one is what I'm plannin on goin with, but yours is a close second so that could change lol.. Now you've got me all confused, thanks a lot! 
Anyone know where to get that type of grille cheaper? I see them all the time for the newer body style, but I'm having some trouble finding one for a 93-97, most of the sites I shop are performance part oriented and don't have a lot of appearance stuff... I think there may be one on ebay, but the picture is so small I can't tell lol..
