Debadge the bowtie and put away in your drawer. The LS4 badge would look better on the sides of the car. I'm kinda used to seeing cars with the engine size displayed on the fenders.

You can keep the SS badge on the trunk if you like. Don't really have a problem with it. But if you take the other two badges off, debaging the entire trunk will give it a nice clean look to it.

You can even sell your SS badge to some PT Cruiser owner. Seems to be a common mod with PT Cruisers for some reason. Putting SS badges on a PT Cruiser -- WTF?

I think the LS4 emblem will stay where it is. i dont wanna buy another. the one i have now was like $50 or $60. I played with the placement of the LS4 emblem when i first got it and the only place it looked right was where i have it now. up front it just didnt look right for some reason.

Shocker... I photoshopped your trunk lid clean to give you an idea. I can understand you not wanting to ruin the LS4 badge you paid $50-$60 for.

I'm thinking debadge FTW.

looks pretty good lou. thanks for the visual. It is just a bit plain for me tho. i would atleast have to have an SS or something on there i think. I will start with the Bowtie and see where i go from there.

think you could just take the bowtie off in photoshop for me? no biggy if not
