I would probably do one or the other, but not both. I actually have a smaller GXP emblem, off the rear of a Solstice GXP, purchased from the local dealer. I want to place it somewhere on my trunk.

"BONNEVILLE GXP" on the left with "V8" on the right?

Decisions. :???:

I think the two identical badges so close to each other is a little redundant. I definitely like the OEM badges better on the trunk.

I like the one on the license plate frame, the other one bugs my OCD and says it should get centered. ;)

I'm not big on plate frames or badges. Too much, imo.

The one on the trunk does bug me a little but I think I'm gonna keep the frame. I might end up getting one of those newer northstar emblems for the trunk instead.
