I like the Camaro one a lot. I don't think I've seen up close before, but it sure looks like the same font as the stock Monte Carlo. You could get a similar affect be painting (ideally chroming) the stock Monte badges and putting down an overlay. I like that idea the most. Sometimes if you change the badging it looks phony i.e. someone buying a base model and sticking SS badges on it.

the camaro is indeed using a very similar font, just with more rake/slant to it.

I can see where changing the badges might look phony, though not sure if it would be so much in this case, as the car really is an SS and the badges would still be SS, not like adding that 'Type R' crap that the ricers used to do (still do??)

i like 3 personally, but 2 might look good also. I liked 3 just because its not tacky and yet, different. 2 is off the newer montes, so, since i know that i might be being slightly bias.

I'd let people assume that, and then smoke them. :P

It's like a mind-trick sleeper

I like #3 but if you could get them closer together that would be cool.

Lol, Mine is an LT and I got SS badges on them. I like to think of it as my own SS model lol. If anyone wants to race and I win then they'll think they just messed with the wrong SS lol, and if they win they can think they beat an SS and when they go to race another one they can get stomped lol

Check out that link. It contains a "SuperSport" stainless steel badge, kinda like what the old 60's and 70's Chevy's had. In the picture I think they put it on an aftermarket hoodscoop, but I love it and plan on getting one for my car too. Also, changing the letters "monte carlo" from car body color to white really shows it off.
