Got my GTO "5.7" badges today. Nice or rice?
I did a lengthy search and couldn't find one single person that had these on their car, nor anyone even talking about it. Thought maybe I'd be the first. You can't order them from gmpartsdirect.com either.

I bought a pair of them, and am considering putting them on the front fenders where the Z28 would be on a Camaro, or one on the rear bumper and one in the engine bay. Any opinions?

Thanks in advance.

I think it looks pretty nice but it's hard to say where I'd put it because I can't tell the actual size of the emblem. Do you have a picture with something next to it as a reference?

I'm with Brent on this one. I like the look of the badge, but the size and placement will make or break it.

We really need a size comparison pic before we can decide for sure, but I don't understand how that could be ****?

Here's a picture of it next to a can of soda and a pen. It's about 2 and a half inches long and one inch high. One look at the back of a GTO, and you'd be able to tell.

Well, I decided to put one on the rear bumper.

I think it looks pretty good.

The other one is probably going to go on the driver side shock tower facing front. My engine bay is a disgusting mess, so I won't worry about that one for now.
