Left, Right, or Center?

Ive wanted to do this for a while. Debating where I should mount this badge on my billet grill. I'm leaning towards placing it in the center, but thats where I usually mount my license plate, otherwise my next option would be passenger side for that old school z/28 look... discuss.

Left=Driverside
Right=Pass Side

LH (drivers side)


IMO only the LH side works. No Camaro ever had a RH one (I can't even think of any car that had one on the RH side). That particular style Z/28 emblem was always LH mounted, so it seems most 'natural' there. Center would just look like a bogus afterthought.

LH driverside, the Z stands out better. So looks like I have to buy a Z28 logo now?

Not a bad idea. The problem with that is, it would blend way too much with the white "28". I have some paint left over from when I got a paint job, plus I have an extra badge. Maybe i'll use it for trial and error, or just photoshop it

Pewter tends to blend too much with the grill and the white 28. Doesnt make that Z/ stand out.. Although, blue looks pretty damn good.
