Default Chrome Emblems for cheap, spell whatever you want!

Hey fellow LS1techers, I just wanted to post a link to a place in San Francisco that you can order emblems from. They're not really custom, but you can buy single letters/numbers/symbols from them and they appear to be pretty close to stock lettering on other cars. I just picked up two of each letter to spell LS1. I think it'll look pretty good, and at $20, should be a nice addition over the stock Z28 black emblems.

Here's the link: http://www.youremblem.com/



I will for sure post pics when I get the emblems installed so every can see them. Hopefully they fit in with the lines of the car.

Just wanted to share what I found in my search, in case somebody else was looking to go the same direction...

no problem. i should have mine on the car this weekend as I'm pretty close to SF. So, if anybody wants to order, i'd recommend waiting till i get my pics of them, and i'll offer up my opinion on the quality. if you don't care about the $, go for it!

What font did you get them in?

I'm thinking if they look kinda like GTO 5.7 emblems I might get some.

i wonder how the "SS" would look with those emblems, that is something that i have wanted to do for a while(get chrome/stainless SS emblems) and these are inexpensive and i like the font of the S but i am not sure how it will look being that it is a little different... what do you guys think about the S's?

Finally got the emblems on! I must say, they add a lil something different, as you won't see another Camaro with them (at least not yet). I think they are a tad small, but I like them. I've had a few compliments already, and if anybody can't figure out the license plate LS1 2NV then this certainly helps them out! What do you guys think?

I wish those were a little bit bigger and I would get them myself, I like the font.

It would probably look pretty good on the rear panel where the usual Z28 or SS emblem goes.....

Thanks

I'll have to measure the stock side Formula emblems tomorrow, but I don't think they're much taller than an inch.

Edit: Checked and they are only 1" tall lettering.

Do these letters have the foam sticky backing on them already like stock emblems?
I might have to get some of these.

http://youremblem.com/howtoattach.php says you can just peel off the backing and stick them on
