I had to many wrinkles with te decal.
Yes, I still have the SS emblems on the sides and rear. The SS is on the front bowtie only. If i do the SS on the rear bowtie the rear SS emblem will come off.

I had been looking at large Repo SS emblems from a Chevelle and Camaro.
If I can find one that would cover the bow tie bulge in the grill it mey look good on the front.
I even considered replacing the SS with the Super Sport Script from a 66 or 67 Chevelle Quarter panel.

Never completed my rebadging process, thanks to the SuperSport script STILL on backorder after 5+ months.
I debaged everything on the outside in anticiapation of doing that this summer.
I have a 67 Nova SS emblem for the grille I was hoping to mount on the intercooler grille, but that's next to impossible to do/remove, so likely to put that lower left side of grille. The speed nuts that come in it won't hold to the holes in the grille, but some metal washers added will allow it.
2 Nova SS emblems to put on the doors where the original "SS" ones were...dremel down the posts and adhere them...but that may go on hold. The "SS" are about the same sizze as the new style ones that were stock.
And yes, the two line "Super Sport" script from late 60's Chevelle's, but its on back order, and this reminds me to ask the distributor about it again.
On the inside, 4 "Chevrolet" scripts, from late 60's Caramo's, just in front of the hood, to put on the inside door panels. Again, dremel would be my friend.
I wanted to do it all at once, so the SS still is debadged, and likely now will be through the winter. Also thought of maybe using the rear "SS" onto somewhere on the dash.
I did just order some rear and front black overlays for the bow ties.

I saw the Cobalt one back in September. I condsidered it but not sure if the angle can be bent into an emblem large enough to cover the bow tie in the grille.
I have a bunch of ideas but I want to make sure I do something tasteful. To often I see people do something that seamed like a good idea at the time only to regret it later.
I have done it myself so I no longer rush into changes.

The side emblems of a HHR SS will cover too but they are flat. IF they were bolt on you could shim them but with stick on it is more of a problem.
