Your Opinion

My car was bought as a 1993 V6 3.4 Automatic,

I Just finished my conversion to a worked LT1 as well as many other mods and MBA interior, needless to say- it is not a 6 anymore.

My Question:

Should i put Z28 badges on it.. even it is not a factory Z28?

Perhaps i am thinking about this too much, im just not sure if it is ... Right or Wrong to do.

I do not want people thinking i took off the badges to look like a 6... with duel 3inch pipes in the back

It is a difficult situation

Help..
thanks
Brad

Re: Your Opinion

you could get some LT1 emblems made, this guy does good custom work http://www.bfranker.badz28.com/vinyl/vinyl.htm

You arn't lying, and it isn't technically a z28.

Re: Your Opinion

If you like the way it looks with the badges on - go for it.

If I did all the mods to make my car into an SS, I would most certianlly add the badges.

I just would never try to sell it as a SS.

Re: Your Opinion

Definitely, definitely leave them off.

LT1 badges would be pretty sweet, though.

Re: Your Opinion

Thanks for recommending me guys

Also, as another suggestion, I can make 350 LT1 or 5.7 LT1 or items like that which might look better than a "naked fender"

Like the other guys mentioned, I wouldn't do a Z28 badge but something like LT1 or 5.7L or similar nobody would see anything wrong with that.
