haha I do have the larger 1963 emblems, but anything bigger would just be showing off.

I say you did good.

Ah my neighbor and good friend Rick! Thanks for all of your help with this.


archemedes - thanks!

I'll sell ya my 63 emblems and you can put them on...DOH...never mind

here ya go and keep in mind the 63 is probably 50% larger that the 62.

I defenitely like the smaller ones better. I think it might look a lil' out of place with the larger ones. Lee, did you put different exhaust tips on your exhaust or did those come with the catback? I am digging the slash cut.

Those were addon tips from Meineke, and go all the way back to the muffler where they are welded into place. IMO those look right on an Impala. The tips that came with the GMPP catback didn't look right on my car. My son just got the GMPP on his GTP and the tips look good on his car.
