Where to buy emblems?

I need silver Z28 emblems on '91-92 ground effects.

I just painted my car and need the rocker emblems (on the ground effects). GM told me they are discontinued. I also tried Year One, Classic Industries, "Ebay companies" - nothing available.

I am trying to get these before Thanksgiving (Turkey Rod Run). I'm willing to pay overnight shipping if anyone know of anything out there.

Thanks
Matt

Yes, a JY is a good place to look, but if you want brand new ones which are expensive try http://www.perrypam.com

I can find some for you, how much are you willing to pay for new ones? I can sell you these for $100 shipped, or you can try your local JY.

You got that right, I always take the emblems and stick them in my pocket so you could make out with them for free.

I pay for everything because I like the normally low prices of a junkyard and hope they stay in business and not crush all the thirdgens.

Anywhere else?

if you want to save a few bucks, maybe i or someone else can check our local JY's, and pick 2 up for you and you can send us a money order and we'll ship them to you...?

if you can find 91-92 silver ones in good condition... I would be interested.

They would need to be "like new"- not faded or with the black/silver lettering peeling off.

Thanks
Matt

i found emblems on ebay from a shop called A and T auto. He's still got silver Z28s and Red RS i think. Pretty sure it was $60. Got a pair from him, and they are from the box perfect.

If you have the holder in decent condition you can remove the old emblem and use a rear bumper emblem with just a bit of trimming. Have a new emblem for much less and it looks correct. See the emblem on ebay for about $25. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/82-92...91236304QQrdZ1

Does anyone know where I could find rocker panel emblems for an Iroc-Z? I know GM discontinued them, but is there a place where I could find them?

F-Body Motorsports may have some for you. They have many listed as discontinued, but you may give them a call to find out what they may have.

Yep, and if they do tell you they have them, enjoy the RS or Z28 emblems they send you by mistake after waiting a month or two for them to arrive.

LOL! Don't use F body motorsports! Use either Hawk's,
Ebay or Classic Industries! I used Ebay and saved money
compared to Classic Industries. I got two rocker emblems for
the price of one on Ebay. Brand new. But it's hit or miss
and you have to wait on Ebay. Try Hawk's, but all they sell
is used ones.

Don't use F body motorsports, they screw ya. There's
a reason why this place doesn't sponsor them anymore.


P.S. The emblems are discontinued everywhere. Only
thing left is "new old stock" that people have sitting
around.

Download the Emblems section for Camaro from the website.
Scroll down to the year you are looking for. It will show you the
pic of the emblem w/ the part number.
