I bought some white emblems back in 2002ish. They were in stock but aagin they were white and for an 89. That covers all 87 through 1990 GTA's that were white. The emblems were good quality.

If you are concerned on a time frame email CarMotorsports and ask for a shipping date I guess

Re: Reproduction GTA emblems

Car motorsports are good guys. Good communication and great products. I sent them a NOS Jamaica yellow emblem so they could match the color. They have the emblems made exactly like the factory had them made and they are GM licensed. I wish they would make more stuff for 3rd gens, like tail lights

I bought mine from GTA emblems, they are GM licenced, so the quality is OEM or better, and he sent them expedited, so they were here to CA in 4 days! I have no problem recommending them, quality and service were top notch, but he says "mates" and "cheers" in his emails!

Re: Reproduction GTA emblems

Not that it matters to me but Car Motorsports only sells GM licensed GTA reproduction emblems as well. You won't go wrong with either vendor....

Re: Reproduction GTA emblems

gtaemblems dont have the Jamaica yellow emblems, not that many people need/want them...
----------
Actually they dont have the greens or the blue either

Re: Reproduction GTA emblems

I know this is an old thread. I am looking for a set of emblems for my GTA as mine are showing their age and have a sail panel missing.

Gtaemblems.com does not exist anymore and carmotorsports.com are not getting back to me.

Are the eBay ones (the ones costing approx $160) any good? Are there other sources. NOS are nowhere to be found.

Re: Reproduction GTA emblems

You could try Hawks, they may actually stock them, but they may just get them from Car Motorsports

Re: Reproduction GTA emblems

Yes they have them at $200. I imagine these a repros not NOS correct? Anyone got any views on them. There is only 1 review on the site.
If they are the same stuff as the ebay ones, I would go for the ebay ones with $40 cheaper.

Re: Reproduction GTA emblems

They are probably all made by the same people. I have a set of the Jamaica yellow reproduction ones from Car Motorsports, they actually used one of my emblems to match the color. They look pretty nice and I would compare the quality of originals.

I THINK Car Motorsports has them made by the same people that made them for GM, but I may not be remembering correctly.

Re: Reproduction GTA emblems

Has anyone ordered the gray ones?

Reason I ask, is Pontiac, back in the early 90s had new ones in GM Packaging which were a MUCH lighter gray (like dove gray) vs gunmetal. They were awful!

Wondering if the reproductions are faithful to the original colors vs. whatever was in the GM box 20+ years ago.
