Default Thinking about custom Z badges...

Here's my idea, After my H/C swap i did early summer my stock 405 hp emblems became obsolete, swaped them for stock 01 badges....much better. I'm really thinking i want to add some custom emblems, but i don't want to display any hp rating in case in the distant future i add to the motor. So my idea is that since i have purchased all related parts for the H/C swap from LGM motorsports i would add to the Z emblem LGM H/C...what are your thoughts?

If LGM paid (all or in part) for the badges with their logo on it I might go for it.

I didn't want the horespower on mine either. They can listen to the lopey idle and guess!

Leave them alone... what happens if you add a maggie down the road... then what.

The current one is cleaner and accounts for everything. Just my opinion.

He can customize them however you want - with or without HP ratings.
