Rear fill-in question

Hey guys. I just got my Berger Panel back from the body shop, and was pondering what to do next. I'm thinking throw the red bowtie back on there with no "Z28", and get the silver fill-ins for the front and back from Afterthoughts Auto. I was just wondering if anyone knows whether they fill in the whole letter, i.e. is it flush with the rest of the panel? Or do I need to get them from RKSport?

The car is silver, btw.

Either shave the "Camaro" and put a 69 Z28 emblem there or fill it in with the stainless or black inserts.

I actually didn't have the panel shaved because I like the stock look better. I borrowed a friend's panel that's the same as mine while it was being painted.

I also don't want stainless steel. It's just too "bling" for me.

Do the silver fill-ins on the 35th anniversary editions fit flush?

I found some prices on GM Parts direct. $46.13 for the front grille and rear fascia. If they fit right, I'll get them.

Anybody know?

if it's vinyl, it's going to be paper thin. the rksports fill out the indentations nicely. that's what i have on the back of mine.

this is dan btw, if you didn't know.
