Aftermarket Emblems I have been searching all of Google to find answers/pictures to questions regarding "aftermarket" emblems.
I have a black SS with the red and black SS lettering. I just recently switched my stock grille over to a black billet grille with the '68 SS emblem. I am looking to either switch the rest of my emblems to the silver and black emblems, or change them up all together. I'm considering going retro with older side emblems from a camaro or chevelle.
Here's catch numero uno...I have $100 to spend at Amazon that I earned through work. This to me is free money that I can put in to my car...so I have to find the emblems on Amazon.
I know sponsors have them, like emblembros...but again they have to be on Amazon.
With that said...I can't find the stock silver and black SS emblems on Amazon, so I am looking at other options.
Here's catch numero dos though. The car was repainted by the previous owner which causes issues when removing the old emblems...so I need something that will either cover them up (for the most part) or be an exact match.
Here are some of the options I am considering...

Your risking low quality emblems buying from amazon. I mean if you know for a fact that the vendor puts out good emblems (user reviews before you buy) then it would be alright. But your kind of bettin on whether or not your getting getting low quality emblems that your going to want to replace in a few years. I would say, buy something for the home you want/need on amazon and spend your hard earned cash at emblempros or an equivalent vendor, then you can get exactly what you want (custom emblems) and you know your getting a great piece that will last a long time and wont fall off from bad tape.
I'm just really happy with the stainless inserts and emblems I got from emblempros that I think you would be happier spending money on.

if it were me, maybe a possibilty that someone u know friend or family, will be buying something crom amazon, and u can make a deal. for example my friend plans kn spending 95 bucks at amazon, buy their item, they give u 75 bucks, and u both win, buy good emblems.
