Be honest, if you saw him alone in a dark alley had a baseball bat and pliars would you?

That is not only stupid looking I was mearly joking but people are killed for things they don't show off *wallets watches* How dangerous is that?

I doubt it's very healthy also.

Ebay is pretty legit, some are of different quality though, some are actually billet aluminum some are just plated/hand polished stuff that looks like it and is still light in weight. A friend of mine got his for 80 as well as the previous owner of my camaro

I got the stull as well. They are the nicest I've seen, but they are also on the expensive end, and require removing the camaro insert and putting screws through the fascia. I didn't like this part of it at first, but in the end if you want to go back to stock the stock grille will cover all evidence of the holes. Also used rattle can paint to black the area out.

And added a '69 Z28 badge from gmpartsdirect. I think it's about identical to Z28-CTYHNTR's.

It's a very classy look if you do it right. Really sets the front end off.

There were too many different types / approaches / sellers on eBay. I figured better to spend $80 and know what I was getting, than to spend $40 - 70 on a crap shoot. I could be wrong in my numbers but I don't remember it being anywhere near $160.

Summit sells the stulls, and if you find the right part number the badge is cheap. I think alot of reseller sites really mark up the badges alot like it's something special. It's still a GM service PN.
