Default Z28 Emblems (white emblems for black car)

Before I posted this, I did some research on here, eBay, and Google and besides Muffinbuster's stainless steel emblems on eBay, I couldn't really find what I was looking for. I have a black 02 Z28 and I spent over $150 on decals but they just don't last very long. I'm looking for pure white emblems that will replace the current black ones. My car is all black (tinted, leathers, + body), so white would look the absolute best, not stainless steel.

Any suggestions? Thanks for the help.

Sorry buddy, no disrespect, but if you're only gonna have white stock Z28 emblems, they'll stick out like a sore thumb.

What color/finish are your rims, try matching your emblems to the style of you wheels.

Paint 'em, and leave the stripe on the inside black.

Or if you've got chrome or polished wheels get a really bright silver, then put trim up the outline of the emblem in silver and paint the stripe silver too.

It actually looks really good, in my opinion. The car is black, with 20% tints in the back, and 35% on the sides. The wheels are 17'' chrome. I already had spent several hundred dollars wasted on decals. I bought the "CAMARO" fill-in letters for the back and grille. They are white, as well are the "Z28" decals. Here, take a look at my photos. I know they aren't really 100% visible, but I get a lot of compliments on it. I just would rather invest in emblems rather than paying for decals every other year.

Thanks.

I got a set years ago from reflectiveconcepts.com, back in 2000 when my car was new. 7 years and 81K miles later, they still look good and stick fine. i really like them too. One of the few mods I did early on that I haven't changed my mind about like I did with wheels, exhaust, intake, tint....
