I like the new badges much better. But my concern is how well they'll fit in with the original Monte Carlo badge. Size and proportions are important. If the new SS badge is too big or too small, it'll look out of place. Would look like an obvious add on piece.

Another concern I would have if it was my car. If the new SS badge is metal, and the rest of your Monte badges are plastic, it would also look kind of out of place. Maybe if you changed to the 7th gen Monte Carlo lettering.

if that were my monte i'd remove all the SS's and just leave the supercharged badges on the side, remove the Monte Carlo script and just keep the bow-tie on the trunk
