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...
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!!!

 

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.

 

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 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
