NEED HELP! emblem problems...

ok so here's the deal...in repainting the IROC-Z, we decided that with chrome wheels, the original black/gold striping and emblem scheme wasn't gonna be very pretty. so we went with black and silver. so we now have the silver "IROC-Z" door decals, but we can't find silver rocker emblems and a silver rear bumper emblem

i tried Hawks and they had red and gold, i've tried ebay, and a few other websites. i KNOW that silver was an available color in '89, but how come i can't find any emblems?

The silver colors were discontinued a couple years ago. You have to find them used or join a group purchase and have some aluminum ones created.

looks like you took my advice on the silver, good choice. i want to see the pics when you get done with it so i can decide if i was to do the silver stripes or not.

Silver Iroc-Z emblems will be hard to find, and once you do find them get ready to bend over haha.

The last set I saw on Ebay was for NOS rocker and rear bumper emblems. Ended up at over $250.
