Buddy came over to get his GM muscle car era CI/HP numbers on his hood, it's different, not bad looking.

Not a fan and I personally would not do it, but I feel it being raised makes me dislike it more

Don’t hate it, don’t love it. I do like that it’s completely reversible if you have a change of heart. Seeing it in person would probably let me decide. Where were the numbers sourced?

Since it doesn't match the style/font of the other badges on the car, it looks a bit out of place, but overall, that is one good looking C7

It's the wrong number. The C7 is 378 CI. The badge historically denotes the CI, not the HP. If I saw 460 I would think it has some crazy custom engine.

That's what I was thinking. But I'm not super well informed on old muscle car badges, so I thought maybe I was wrong.
