Re: Walmart fixes identity crisis.
Don't worry arado, I too bought this Limited Edition badge from Walmart but I put it on my Riviera after I had it painted back in 2005.
I had chosen a hot color that looked factory so to play with the idea I bought the badge.
I placed mine on the interior near my glovebox just under the model name badge. I actually thought it looked pretty sharp(compared to the other Walmart accessories) and set it apart from many of the aging Riviera out there.
What I've learned with the Crossfire is that the devil is in the details.
All blacked out w/ manual and cloth seats = base
Silver-framed windshield and side 'claws' available Sportmatic trans = Limited
Funky-fixed wing and sport rims = SRT
But I'm sure you already knew that and just wanted to proclaimed its Limited trim to those who don't know.
It looks fine for now. In the future when you're done with it and may have some play money a cursive type Limited would look wicked painted on or done in the same material as pinstripping.

Gary, I will keep all my comments to myself because some have been very disrespectful. I am glad you like it - all that really matters.
For comparison, here are my 2 rear ends....

I don't care for a lot of the things people to their cars here
on this forum. I wouldn't do to mine but it doesn't matter to me that they do it.
