Default Badges and stuff

My 68 is going in for paint very soon. It's a factory SS big block, but i'm converting to RS grill, parkers, and reverse lights.

I'm undecided on what badges i want to run...

I like the sleek look of cars like Penny with no badges at all, but i plan to run a bumblebee stripe, and either SS or the RS badges on the sides. Mine originally had 396 badges up front i think, i have a NOS set to replace them with, but it now has a 454 in it, so it just doesn't feel right running them.

Are the holes for the 396/SS/RS badges the same on the front of the fender? or do i have to make up my mind which badges i'm going to run before i paint?

I'm trying to spread the cost a little, and buy the badges etc after paint (it's costing me a fortune for paint), and all the RS conversion stuff is also hitting the wallet hard.

Is there a particular badge set that was run on RS cars, or were they all different? Ie: did some RS cars run SS badges on the sides/grill?

And do you think the car will look funny with just the bumblebee and SS badges, but no other badges on the sides?

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance guys.
