    Default Chev Badges Need Opinion!

    Ok can nobody bag me out and have a go at me here im just curious on something and need an opinion!

    Ive always thought chev badges look sick on alot of Holdens although from this site ive noticed alot of people find it disgusting but i dunno why :S

    im considering putting chev badges On a Holden VS Clubsport V8

    Would this look mad and i should do it or completly crap and i shouldnt do it???

    Cheers Guys

    Do it if you want. Just keep in mind that you don't have a 350 and Holden 5 litres were never used in any Chev (that's why). For this reason, people are going to bag you out regardless of whether you think they look alright or not.

    What do you find so bad about HSV badges? I think they look much better. My personal opinion is that the bowties look plain strange on pre-VY Commodores, and even then they look a bit iffy.

    lol opinions you will get coz you have asked for them, but you have answered your own Q

    Holden & HSV badges are awesome just as _R_J_K_ mentioned. be different and put on Transformer badges, AWESOME

    IF you want to do it, do it, but dont complain if anyone doesnt like it, its their opinion but you have to be happy and drive it around. YOU have to be HAPPY

    as above, if you have a 350 Chev with a bug catcher poking through the bonnet chev badges are cool , but if you have a standard 'holden' V8 Chev badges on it would look gay..

    Do you drink Milk, relabelled as Orange Juice? Do you eat Cornflakes from a CoCo Pops box?

    Didnt think so.

    So why drive around in a HOLDEN, with CHEVROLET badges on it? Especially when not one major piece of that car was contributed by Chevrolet.

    This thread should be a sticky.

    Someone always wants opinions on this type of thing.

    Why ruine a good Aussie car with gay american badges. Your car is not american, ur engine is not american. Even If I had an LS1 or LS2 i wouldn't even have em because it reuins the image of the car. (hsv is better) plus you would have other stickers and badges which are holden mixed with chevolet.

    I am not as hard on this issue as some other people, for instance if you have a gen 3 or above then I don't see the issue as holden rebage and sell them anyways, but you have a aussie 50LTRV8, so please, keep the chev badges far away as possible from that car.

    yeah i agree, if you have an LS1 or above then sometimes i dont mind them if they are discreet, but i wouldnt do it to an HSV even if it did have a chev engine.

    you should be proud to drive around with the HSV badge on your car.

    Well first things first - its my mates car who im gonan buy it off and its had the badges ripped off coz we have some absolute c**ts around our area that find it funny so it needs new ones

    I was just considering before i buy them because ive found that some Holdens look good with Chev badges even if they arent made by Chev. It just looks good to have them on the car.

    I will probably just go with the HSV stickers then as the majority of comments have made up my mind lol.....or maybe the transformer ones!!
