Jay,

For me at least, it would be a case of 'too much info' ...putting more text on the fenders than was originally there.

I might go what Chevy did to get their point across on the '69 Z-28's.

Say in this case 'LS/X' on the grill in the same style as the 'Z-28' badge and '454' on the cowl induction hood in the same style as the 302 numbers or use the original '454' numbers Chevy used.

I agree. I continue to circle back to the OEM Chevy 454 "factory" numbers to replace the existing fender numbers. People will know there is something different about the car but would not likely assume there is an LSX under the hood. Appreciate the input for sure!

I am somewhat interested in some 416 badges for my Camaro (says 350 currently, which was just swapped out). Trying to figure out best option for this as well. These gave me some ideas.

Check out trimparts.com for individual numbers to create the 416. I've been looking for a white 454 logo to replace the 350 badges. Thinking of buying the red or individual black numbers and paint them to match.

Or...

Morris Classic Concepts makes some chrome looking emblems in any numerical design as well. Look pretty cool. I'm going to give them a call tomorrow.

Anybody worked with either of these companies?

Found some 69 Camaro white 454 fender badges on Camaro Central. Any feedback on this direction versus doing a custom LSX logo?
