    people put them on because they think the ls engines are a chev engine so they need to put chev badges on when they really need their head realigned with a bat

    1. To piss of the many heroes out there with their baseball bats
    2. They look awesome - much better than the stupid lion.

    you dont see people with a VL Turbo put nissan skyline badges on them do you? its the same thing
    Actually, yes you do - and i'm sure they don't really care what others think, much like chev badged commodore owners maybe?

    The saddest thing is I've seen VN-VS 5.0L with Chevrolet badges and stickers. Those people are the morons (unless they've dropped something awesome in, but even then the car's built by Holden, not Chevrolet). I put a new Holden lion on my VS, not Opel, Buick, Ford (various shared parts)

    Sorry to ruin your hopes, but no. I'm just one of the blokes that don't judge people by the badges on their car - i know its a very strange concept for some.
