Emblem Etiquette Question

[Spark 1732]

Alright, so I drive a 2008 Sierra with the VortecMax package (the high performance 6.0 V8 and upgraded suspension). Paint started chipping so I'm getting it repainted, meaning I'll have to replace emblems.

 

All that to say, would it be frowned upon to apply 4th gen emblems/placement on the tailgate, or stick with 3rd gen emblems/placement? Pictures of difference between the two below.

Put on what you like. When I first joined the site emblem removal was the rage. I give a thumbs up when I see a vortec max. Wishing the option was still available. As well as the E-85 option for improved performance.

I see no issue updating the gen of "SIERRA" and "SLE" logos at all.

Yeah I mean that's just it, not like I'm putting emblems of a trim I don't have on. Just updating style and where they're placed.

I put the 07-13 2500 HD and Silverado on my 2006.  It looked great compared to those old one piece badges they had before.

I say go for it.  I always wanted a GMC Suburban, have thought of removing my Yukon XL emblems for Suburban!

 

Done any mods to the VortecMax?  4L70 trans right?  14-Bolt axle with 3.73s or 4.10s?

Cool, have you ever taken it to the track to see how fast it is?

Just go for the Emblems you like.

I have replaced the LS trim-emblems on the Pillars with LS6 emblems
My truck has an aluminum 5,7Block 11,5:1CR Truck-Norris-Cam, Headers and matching tune, that is pretty close to being an LS6.
