The car isn't a Chev, the motor is, so put the badge on the engine cover if you need to have one. Funniest thing I've seen is a VZ SV6 with a bowtie badge on the bootlid, just under the SV6 badge, LOL. Yeah I agree with you 100%. I'd never put a Nissan Badge on My VL but if I had a Nissan rocker cover collecting dust I'd probably stick it on.

Just a quick question, do any of you guys realise that the Chev badges (genuine ones anyway) are part of a Chev enhancement kit which can be optioned into the later commodores giving you more Kw (generally more displacement with an LS2, L76, etc)...not all of them are cheesy ebay bowtie badges people have stuck on their commodores lol.
