Ok new update, This is the exact same bird that is on the rear of the 98-02 Pontiacs, which is good.
This is also the exact same bird on the front of the 93-97. We are not sure of something since we do not have an LT1 car, and need to know the answer.
Is the front bird on the 93-97 model years an actual seperately adhered piece, or is it a formed part of the bumper?
Any input would be great. I have looked online, and it really tells me that both ways are possible.

I just want to reiterate that we sell etched underhood items with GM licensed logos on them. The above picture is one example, but we can do many more.

Follow this link for a custom built battery cover:

More items will be available soon.

NOTE: We use an 18GA steel, whereas our competition uses a thinner material. The lower the GA number, the thicker the material. Before you buy from any vendor, ask about the details of exactly what you are paying for. We also laser cut our stainless for maximum precision.

Thanks guys!

The bird on the front of the 93 - 97 years is stuck on. Each bird is made up of individual pieces. They are painted the same color as the rest of the car, which is why they look like they are part of the bumper cover. I had to remove mine years ago, so your replacement is perfect for my needs.

Let me ask you this. When you removed the bird was the body paint underneath like new, or did they paint the car, after the bird was on?

Interesting, I thought it was formed to the bumper. I didn't know you could take it off? Learn something everyday. Now I would like a mirror one. Thanks

I can't believe I just read this whole thread from beginning to end... today! And I want more.

Are there any pieces for the small triangle in between the door windows and the sail panel on the F-bodies? That area just screams for some sort of badging/emblem.

Sick thread, great work... subscribed.

Roger & Matt

Have you ever thought about designing something for the lower fender by the jack block that helps Clarify "DO NOT JACK HERE"

Went to a exhaust shop on a emergency weld and they basically ignored that or couldn't read it and now I have a fender to try and re-align & Put back into place.

Mike,

There is no issue. You simply prefer a shiny etch.

That might work, if you want to try it.
Just get a paint made specifically for plastics, and make very sure they are clean. I would be curious to see how it comes out, if you do it.

Here are some True ZR1 style emblems we made tonight. We did many orders, and you guys should start seeing your orders in the coming days. We were bombarded with many sales upon the licensing, and it is continuing to pour in. We made a significant dent in the orders tonight so we don't get backlogged. I felt the need to post these pictures just to show some more to those wanting to see how different colors an combinations look. Enjoy!

Just remember, if you want the best emblems at the best prices in the fastest time - you need to come to the pros; emblempros.com. Thanks to everyone for their support of our business.

Get some Plastic Weld. It is for bonding plastics but I use it as a plastic clear coat as well.

Comes in a bottle with a brush applicator. Dries smooth though. I used it to stick my stainless bezel to my ABS bezel and then just brushed it all over the ABS that still showed. Took it from a grey to a gloss black, just like you want.

Can't really mess up either since it dries uniform and quick. Tape off the painted area of the car and take your time, it will look great.
