Default Need new badges, opinions/recommendations??

I'll be getting my 82 painted next month.

I have the old Cross-fire-injection badges (they will need to be removed).

I have a zz383 and will be installing a new L88 hood. What badges, if any, should I use?





And where would you guys put the new badges?


Also any tips or suggestions as I disassemble the car before I take it to the painter?

What about the crossed flags symbol where the Cross-fire-injection was?

You will have to fill the holes anyway, drill new one's for the flag emblem, the pin holes in the crossflag are different from crossfire. When I had my 79 painted I removed and filled the L-82 emblem holes in the hood, because I dropped in the 406.

Did you do any re-badging (406) on the hood?

No 406 emblems at all on the body, or under the hood. I do have the cross flags on the fenders thats all.

Since I can't think of anything tasteful, none may be the best option!
