Convertible Badging

Does anyone know if all 91 Z28s came with teh rear bumper badge "tuned port Injection"

This is my first TPI Car, and I have relatively no knowledge on this subject, So any help would be appreciated... The reason i ask is my 91 Z28 Convertible does not have it on the rear bumper cover.

Re: Convertible Badging

it does. Im of the belief that all Z/28's that had TPI came with the Badge on the rear bumper, regardless of roof style.. but as im new to TPI, i wanna be sure.

thanks.

They all came with it from the factory, unless it was a 5.7L car, then it'd say 5.7L Tuned Port Injection. But since no Z28 convertibles had 350's, they all had the regular TPI emblem. I'm sure you could find one on ebay, or even here, for cheap.

Re: Convertible Badging

Thanks Nick. it is a beautiful car. Just have some minor paint issues, and a big paint issue with the front bumper. The Guy who owned it last, had been out of town, well one of his lackeys, that was house sitting for him, got drunk, and wrecked his Tacoma, then went back to the house, and got in the z and wrecked the front end too. UGH. So i have to get a front end repaint. Since you asked for more photos, i give them to you gladly!








and heres where the paint needs redone :
