Need to see better pics.

I really wanted theses, but now that I see them I'm sort of torn if I like it.

I think what is getting me is the Z is larger than the 28, which on these cars looks a little off for some reason.

I think better pics would go a long way.

A fender emblem on the rear would look more proportionate..

1) warranty RO number OR customer pre-paid invoice number
2) VIN number of Z28 camaro
3) Last Name of purchaser

It doesn't state that you have to own a Z28. So hopefully they show up tomorrow (Friday).
I wonder if they'll have limits as to how many can be purchased per vehicle, to prevent certain owners from giving their info out to a bunch of people, and/or to prevent owners from being able to buy a bunch of the exclusive items themselves and then resell them for profit.


On a side note, I think i might actually prefer the look of the ones emblempros was working on over the originals.

They do look great however it will easily cost 4x what the OEM parts run. Granted they're hard to attain they are inexpensive.

Gm may not even approve for emblem pros to make these for sale. Who knows.

Whether you get Rogers emblem( if they're approved) or are able to obtain OEM badges, you just cant go wrong here. Its a perfect modern rendition of the classic script.

The OEM badges look killers on the OP's car. I however would swap the small rear logo for the larger fender badge.

I'm not really getting this...so how can I get these? I need to find a Z28 owner willing to give me the vin of their car or their last name and go to parts department and ask for replacement fender emblems?

to each their own. whether you like the OEM or the Emblempros, anything is a step up from the original 4th gen emblems.

Id still prefer to GM Z28 bagdge over emblem pros. Dont really like the how the back plate looks and red carbon fiber look. NOW if you can change things on it like color then its a different story.

I've got a set of fender emblems and a grille emblem like the op has. let me tell you, unless you're a gm employee with connections it's going to be very difficult for you to obtain these. And even if you're a gm employee it's still going to be hard for you to obtain them. Good luck!

saw a real 2014 Z28 the other day and the rear emblems would probably look better in the back of our cars too. Almost as big as the fender emblems. Maybe I'll see if I can pick one up.
