Default Gonna **** the purists off but where can I get factory like SS emblems?

Mind as well throw them on, sorry to the purists but where can i find the fender and taillight panel SS emblems? Also maybe one for the grill but it would have to be aftermarket since I have the black billit grill. Sponsors?

EmblemPros makes them...sorta. They're probably actually better quality than factory. Or you could try eBay. That's where I got my rear one when I painted my Berger panel.

Here's a link to the ones that are "like" factory.

Your car is at least a V8, along with SS pieces, all you'd really need now is a bigger front sway bar and you've got all the SS bits

It just pisses me off when V6 or plain Z28 cars do it

Exactly. Its not like an SS or WS6 was anything other than bolted on specialty parts.

The problem with me is if someone attempts to pass off a fake as the real thing.

Any pictures of these emblems on a Camaro? Id like it to look as close to factory as possible. Although these might match the stainless CAMARO inserts I bought off you guys a week ago.

My car was shipped as a 350 with a 2barrel carb and malibu trim, 2.56 gear open dif 10 bolt. Now it has SS dash, badges, hood, suspension parts, radiator, 12 bolt, etc. Why? Because I like the sinister look of the SS grill and side emblems and having actual gauges instead of a horizontal speedometer and dummy lights.

Anyone who doesn't like it can go pound sand.

Or...to make a simple task more complicated...I have (not installed yet though) silver metallic Manta hood/decklid/spoiler stripes that are going to be going on after I repaint the car this spring. Now the question is, do I stay with red or go something different. Just trying to think what will look the best on a black/silver camaro.

Some pics of my color combination...



Now here is what is on the Dale Sr. Camaro stock...but idk if I want something that stands out more, but not look like some cheap autozone chrome crap...

Ok, thanks...I think with the silver stripes, the red will look out of place, so Im thinking white would be the best so far...unless you guys can do a silver metallic one to match my stripe. If not, thats cool, Ill see what I can figure out. Sometimes too many choices is a problem lol But you guys will have my business one way or another.

Ordered my rear CAMARO fill ins from them a couple weeks ago and great quality. Thats why Im not hesitant to reuse them again. I didnt even think of the front camaro emblem. I will have to add that to the order as well.

We have two silvers we can use.
1. Is a brushed simulated finish composite
2. Is a silver somewhat mettalic, but not heavily mettalic.
I think the second one would be the one you would pick, if you went with the silver centers.

Thanks, Roger
