$30 for 2 emblems is high....

I got my SS emblem from my dealer for $10 or $12.... that was for the big one that's on the door - the one you want for the front.

the smaller trunk one is $7...

Well, you know what they say, "A penny saved, is a penny earned."


Earned for more mods that is!

Did you sand down the entire area in the shape of the bowtie where the bowtie had been? Mine ended up getting scraped as you described and its fairly noticeable in the areas not covered by the SS, atleast to me anyways. I have an extra SS badge laying around and have been contemplating removing the one on there now and tryin to fix up where the plastic got scraped.

If you get an SS for the front grille, be sure to get the SS from the doors, and not the trunk, cause the trunk one isn't big enough for the grille.
You should be able to find complete sets (2 small and 2 large) for less than that on Ebay....I did anyways.
