Want some opinions on which emblems to use

I have an 88 camaro sc with a gm 350 with about 300hp i recently painted it, put on a z28 hi rise spoiler with an led got the 91-92 z28 hood with the blisters and my 3.27 posi should be going in next week if it ever stops raining. My question is i had regular camaro badges on the car, some of them broke when i took them off for the paint shop, i have a complete set of iroc-z badges ready to go on however, do you guys think i should just go out and buy new camaro badges or should i put the iroc ones on? My rear will be from an iroc and im putting an iroc quick ration steering box in also. All opinions are appreciated, Thanks

I know what most will say here and that is if it isn't an IROC, then don't put IROC badges on it. As for me, do what you want, it is your car, just don't try to pass it off as an IROC if you decide to sell it.

personally i'd put Z28 badges on, but if you already have the irocs, stick with em!

It's not an IROC. Don't use the IROC badges.

Next time I do my car I'm going to fill them for a smoother look. If you're going to be getting some paint work done anyway, you may want to consider it.

For starters. GET A BOWTIE, try and drop that chevy emblem somewhere on the ar.

And if you got the IROC stuff just use it. I mean, you got a 350 and such, you wont be a r!cer because you aren in essence cloning your car, not impersonating it.

My opinion though. Go retro, get on ebay and find some older emblems from 1st or 2nd generation. Maybe even use z28 emblems. Get that curisve "camaro" stuff, my buddy has a 67, and they just look awesome.

Your car is no more an Iroc than it is a Honda or a Mustang. But hey, It's your car.

I too, think most cars look better without any emblems at all on them. Looks cleaner.
