i'm setting my car up to use 4th gen badges. I got some plastic and cut out a template to fit in the holes for the stock emblem. I primed and painted the templates to match the car, and then i glued 4th gen z28 badges to it. Came out pretty slick, but they're not on the car yet. I will post pics when they are.

I have custom made rocker and rear bumper SS emblems on my '92 RS. I asked the vendor if he would keep the production as limited as possible because I had them specially made from scratch to my exact specs. I was hoping for a one-of-a-kind thing.

They look exactly like factory silver RS emblems, but they say SS. I think it adds a nice custom touch to the look of my car and makes people kinda go "what the...a 3rd gen SS??"

My buddy gave me sh*t about them because they never made a '92 SS, but they never made a 550hp supercharged '92 RS either, now did they...

Here is mine. I gpt them from a place called Thirdgenparts.com. I paid about $20 for them. Unfourtuantly They are no longer making them. They may have some extras though. And as far as my car being an RS. The only thing RS left on it is.....well nothing.

Or you could be totally rice and make it a 'SS/R'!

I have mixed feelings about 'false badging' a car. I don't think its cool to say your car is something its not. However, it would be very cool to have a 3rdgen SS!

I was considering getting some SS badges for my project car. Im doing all custom interior, 10 point cage, tubbed and backhalfed, 383 stroker. The car isnt going to be close to anything resembling a stock camaro. So i figured its ok. What do u guys think?

Well, in my opinion, if the car can back up the badges, go for it.

I considered SS badges for my car. It has SS wheels, and I was going to put an SS hood on it. It has a built 350 already. But, I decided not to becasue since anyone can put them on any car.. I didn't want to be associated with some 16 second 3rd gen SS's that would surely show up..heh.

It wasn't

The guy that started this threads sig says he runs a 15.9. Not exactly something that should be sporting the SS moniker.

I know your car can back it up, so its perfectly fine

And I haven't touched my website in like 2 years(since about a week after the engine swap)..heh..things a bit different now

I'll tell you what...Let me preface by saying we all should respect everyones opinion, and I mean no respect but...

My Iroc is an Iroc. I am proud of her win or lose...L98 or rocket powered...She's still and Iroc. Are you proud of your RS or are you trying to cover it up?

I'm against it. It's just like every type-r civic you see out there. I know some may disagree with me here. But you can do everything to the car handle and run like a type-r, but placing the sticker does not mean it's one. Now, putting SS on a thirdgen is somewhat different since they never produced them, but it stills something that doesn't belong in my opinion. What is so bad against RS? Show them what an RS can do. No reason to put fake badges. I'm just very much against it, guess it's all personal opinion. However, I like primes car, and the SS badges look very professional, but I'd rather see either badges shaved or the true badges. As for the original poster with the 15.7 car... just avoid them please.

I love my RS badges...You should see the look on the face of mustang owners when they lose to an RS. "Arent they supposed to have a 305?" hahahah

I think the idea of SS badges is pretty cool. Like was said earlier, just back it up. I dont want to be the one to throw this idea out there, but what is the difference in calling an RS and SS and calling a civic a type R? That was by no way a flame, i am just curious as to what people think of that

------------------
*1989 RS
*Red, Daytona Turbo fiberglass hood, chrome 16x8 IROC wheels
*355 CID
*TPI ported plenum, SLP siamesed runners, Edelbrock high flow intake
*SLP 1 and 3/4 headers with 3 inch catback
*Richmond 3.73, Auburn Posi
*Modded 700-R4, 2800 stall converter
*eibach pro kit and hotchkis strut tower brace

"There is no way you have a 350 in that car. They are made to have 305's and a 350 wouldnt fit"

I don't think they make Type R Civics, only VTECs. Isn't the type R for Toyota or something like that.
At least they did make SS Camaros. But this is just my opinion, the SS emblem is kind of cool, but anyone that knows thirdgens will know you're a fake, and to me that's no better than ricers. But to each his own.

I think customization like that is cool. Thats what hot rodding is alot about, although most people get it confused with drag racing. Hot rodding is customizing cars to your mind, its almost like art. Im currently in the process of designing my camaro to what I think a 3rd gen ss would look like if they made one. Right now I have a 350 in my rs, and it runs a 14.6 not bad but not good enough for the ss name, I just want to put up more mods, and throw my tpi i just bought on there with an ss hood, and possibly a 4th gen wing, and some ss emblems for my wheels, and have a 5.7 tuned port ram air, hopefully doing mid to low 13s on horse.

I just don't understand why someone would want it. They have badges. May it be Z28 or RS, there car came with them. Keep them that way. As for the type-r, yes they are made...in Japan however. The integra and soon to be NSX will be here with the type-r badging. Usually it's a slightly stronger engine and better in the turns. With some GFX or something.

On the back of my car I have the "5.0 Liter H.O" emblem. My car is only an RS, not the "high output" z. So am I making my car rice? I happen to like the way it looks and now don't have to listen to people in parking lots talking to me like I have a v-6 since its not a z (many people think only the z was a v-8). Besides, my car is faster than any stock "high output" mid 80s z that the emblem was made for. Some of the above cars are faster than any stock ss ever made, so it's ok in my opinion. Especially for the people who put ss rims and ss hoods on, nothing wrong with making a 3rd gen camaro the way gm should have made it.

I wanted the SS Badges just to be different. Besides I actually have a 350 in the garage waiting to be dropped in when ready. So I'll definitely be able to back it up. Now, back to the original question. Does anybody know where I can currently get a pair of SS Badges. Please only reply if it pertains to this post. Thanx

All the ones I've seen are custom made, there is no one place you can go buy them like summit. Sorry. I've wanted a 5.0 Liter Throttle Body Injection emblem for my car. Where did you get your 5.0??

You can get first gen SS badges from www.paddockparts.com. They have nice catalogs. I'm going to shave the emblems on my IROC and put Z/28 first gen emblems on my fender.

if you want to put SS emblems on a third gen go ahead, its your car do what you want. At the same time though, dont get all self concious about people who make wise cracks about it being *****.

I personally think its domestic rice, but if you have the power to back it up, who's going to do anything about it?

Nobody has mentioned it this way, but I think a different approach can be taken... I think that you should definitely have an engine to back up the badges, but think of it this way: If you go calling it an SS and some punk beats it in a crappy base model Mustang or something that shouldn't beat an SS, you will be giving it a bad name... Most people won't even know that there were no SS's I say keep the sleeper look anyhow... it gives a better name for everybody.

As far as "SS" emblems goes on a thirdgen, I'm all for it. In fact, I plan on DOING it. I am going to build my car the way I want it, and with all due respect to EVERYONE on this board, I'll be damned it I'll ever let what someone else thinks dictate what I do. I mean if I ask for an opinion on something, and people don't like it, that's fine, that's YOUR opinion, but it doesn't mean I'm not going to do it, just because a few people say they wouldn't do it. It just seems to me that too many people seem to have to "ask permission" of the almighty "Thirdgen Elders" before they do something to their cars, and I have seen people totally change their whole outlook on what they want their own car to look like because of a few people saying they didn't like it. I see cars everyday that I would change things on (cars on this board included), but Ya know what, I can't, because they're not my cars!!

Now, That feel I better ,

I say, just do with your car what you want. I, nor anyone else besides YOU, have to pay for it or drive it. That's what keeps things fresh, new and different ideas. I love seeing people's bone stock, totally unaltered, mint condition IROC's, GTA's Z28's or whatever...but I personally wouldn't own one. In stock form, there is only a handful of cars EVER made, that look, handle, and perform the way I would want them to...and our cars definetly can be improved, in every aspect, especially in the performance section. The fastest production thirdgens ever made (excluding the Firehawk and TTA, of course) can't even get out of it's own way compared to newer or older performance cars..I mean we have to face it, from the early 70's to the early 90's, performance took a nap!! Handling was decent, but still, could be better. The styling on own cars are pretty good, and the IROC, GTA, 91-92 Z28 wheels even look pretty good, but IMO there are better looking aftermarket ones. Same thing with hoods, the IROC, Z28, GAT and T/A-Formula hoods look good, but again, IMO, cowl hoods, SS hoods, and SOME Ram Air hoods look better. But with that being said, there are a LOT of cars out there with aftermarket hoods, rims and spoilers that make me want to cry, but we have to remember, SOMEBODY thought it looked better, and since we don't own them, and can't change it, we just have to be more proud of our own cars,when we see one like that

But anyway, as far as other custom emblems go, I made this dash emblem for my 82 Z28, since 5.0 liter H.O. looked out of place in a car with a bigger engine.

Hopefully I'll be in Va Beach this summer for the NETHIRDGEN.ORG Va. beach gathering if there is one.

Back on the subject of the SS emblems. I belive the only way a car should have them is if it does have the ***** to back it up. I run low 13's but still have a lot of tuning issues to work out, 12's are to be no prob. and after the bugs are worked out the NOS gets installed and the real fun begins. Now if my car still had the lowly 305 TBI in it there is no way I ever think of putting ss emplems on it.

I know this doesn't pertain actually getting SS badges, but this site is pretty much just gossip now anyway...

If someone asked you if it was an SS, what would you say? It isn't an SS, but is that what you'd say? You all defend the SS idea cuz an SS is a cool moniker, not cuz you all agree with the changing of badges. Would you put Baldwin phase III on a 4th gen? It was a cool car back then...

Come on guys, it just doesn't exist. It's your car, so do what ya wan't, I jsut think it's kinda lame...and yeah, you did ask.

I think that you actually can make a thirdgen Camaro SS. All you have to do is get a SS hood and the badges which you have and one bad *** engine to back it up with and you've got yourself a SS Camaro. Its possible.

I GUESS I MUST BE "DOMESTIC RICE" OR WHATEVER BECAUSE I HAD SS BADGES ON MY CAR FOR A YEAR EVER SINCE I REPAINTED. I FEEL IT'S YOUR CAR AND YOU DO WHAT PLEASES YOU FIRST. BTW I HAVE NEVER LOST TO ANY MUSTANG, EITHER BEFORE OR AFTER THE BADGES. NOW I DON'T HAVE THE FASTEST OF ENGINES IN THE WORLD BUT I AM NOT SLOW EITHER. AND THERE WERE SOME 3RD GEN SS MADE OR CUSTOMIZED BY CHOO CHOO CUSTOMS WITH PERMISSION FROM CHEVY. GO TO THE HISTORY BOARD FOR MORE INFO ON THIS. I DO AGREE THAT YOU NEED AN ENGINE TO BACK IT UP BECAUSE MUSTANGS WILL CHALLENGE YOU BUT THAT SHOULD ONLY LAST 11 TO 13 SECONDS.

PS: PRIME CAN YOU SEND ME A EMAIL (morgan_andre@hotmail.com)ATTACHMENT OD YOUR BADGES AT CLOSE TO FULL SIZE. I THINK THEY LOOK REAL GOOD ON YOUR CAR AND I HAVE SOMEONE HERE THAT WILL MAKE THEM FOR ME. THANKS

i dont think there is anything wrong with adding badges as long as that particular model WASNT available in that year or body style.

ie, its ok to make a thirdgen an SS because there was never a thirdgen SS, so you arent fooling anyone.

thats just my opinion. and dont make it obvious or it looks like crap.

First thing there is no difference in putting SS badges on a thirdgen than there is putting ZR1 wheels, SS wheels, WS-6 wheels, Ram Air Hood, SS Hood, Ram Air spoiler, 4th Gen Consoles, and etc. on any Third Gen. We all know what the car isn't and even if it had a 1000hp engine it still doesn't make it a SS. So if the guy wants to put SS badges on his car so what. It's not like the guys with all the 4th gen stuff like Hoods, Wheels, and Spoilers have LS1's or LT-4's . Get my point? So if it's wrong for him it should be wrong for everyone. Just like Women, you see this hot *** chick while your out somewhere and you know just as well as I do that she doesn't look like that when she wakes up in the morning.
