Would you consider this a ricer thing to do?
 

I'm done with my lt1 swap, and I'm swapping, basicly, everything that I can think of from the v6 to a z28 (engine, instrument cluster, tires, etc)...So, if I put z28 badges on it, would that be bad? I mean, the VIN says its not a z28, but it has the lt1 and I don't like the look of just plain red (I like having the little bit of black to mix it up)...What do you think, is this something a ricer would do?

I dunno that's kind of a gray area... :think:
you could put LT-1 badges no harm no foul :)

I've never seen the lt1 badges...I just wanna try to dress up the sides and I like the look of the z28 badges...I'll look into the lt1 badges.

i definetly don't see any problems with doing that!;)

it is when you put SS badges on a non SS car that i wouldn't touch with a ten foot pole!!!:eek: :death: :eek:

I agree, I would put the LT1 badges on it, to avoid the grey area altogether.

Misbadging is always rice.

Hey I did the v6-lt1 swap also. I didnt put badges on for two reasons....1. It didnt come from the factory as a Z so it isnt a Z in my opinion but I wouldnt frown on others. 2. SLEEPER :-D

I say go LT-1 badges

man forget these guys. Think of it like this: Why do z28's get the name z28? You know it aint cause of a different body style. It's because of that LT1 beast under the hood. Put the z28 badge on, you earned it.:D

Wrong!!!!! No matter how white Micheal Jackson becomes and how many surgerys he has, he will still be african american....you are what you are and this car is not a Z.

I would get some LT1 emblems. After all you are more-or-less hotrodding it so why go for a "stock " look.

BTW, there is more to a Z than just the engine.

Agreed. Go to a local vinyl signs shop and get some "LT1" or even "Camaro" badges for the side. I wouldnt put Z28, even though your car is close to it.

I have some z28 badging from my real z28 :D Took it off, like the sleeper look. I personally wouldnt misbadge. However for the time you put into the engine swap, I say go for the LT1 badging. Then only the less informed will say - "Oh it has LT1 badging.. that's a z28"

Great minds think alike ! Once I shaved all my emblems, EVERYONE wants to play again ! !

WOOP WOOP ! !

id like to take my badgin off... but i love having Z28 on the side of my car. :( noone wants to play :(


except idiots, and faster cars.. lol..
BOO that

i say go for it.....who cares:confused:
