GM Mark of Excellence Badge on our cars

Over on LS1Tech, a guy put one of these badges on his car, and I must say, I really like the look. What do you guys think? I actually contacted a dealer about purchasing some that look like this:



What do you guys think about this?

Should be about that small, if they aren't then I'll have to settle for brushed aluminium.

No.

Why?

Plus I doubt GM thinks about our "thirdgens" and "excellence" in the same thought!!!!!

hey now, I'm a thirdgenner too, just making an observation!

Doesn't seem like a bad idea, I think it would match the green on your car pretty well.

The only place I can think of that would look good on .. is covering the "body by fischer" box on the plastic piece under the door. Replacing the blue/green with the color of the interior plastic. Not really a fan of the mark of excellence deal.

I am still mad at GM for discontinuing the Camaro. So in order to recognize them with a 'Mark of Excellence" they will need to make an excellent decision and bring the Chevy Camaro back. Otherwise I leave my car badged as it was originally made.

that looks nice, but not the other one. i think it would break up the lines of the car depending on where you put it.
