I was looking at the stainless steel ones(in black stainless) and since they aren't solid I was slightly worried about the screw holes on the ground effects being visible behind them.

Pictures would be great to ease my mind before I spend near $100 on them!

These are the ones I'm looking at.

log into the ls1tech.com forum site, they are a sponsor there and people are buying them

 

I have the polished stainless RS emblems on my 92 which I am very happy with. I also had him make a set of custom 383 badges for my 89, they turned out extremely well. Don't worry about the screw holes in the GFX, the badge is actually two pieces and what you get from Emblem Pros will fit in the black plastic frame after you remove the stock piece, the whole thing will cover the screw holes once attached to the car with some adhesive.

My 383 badges, I painted the black piece red and scuffed and painted the original bumper emblem and applied my new ones on top before applying it to the car.

 

I don't have my old emblems, so thats why I am worried about the holes...

I searched tech, but didnt find any THIRD gen pictures...

 

just pm dragonz28 on ls1.com or just call them up they will help you out

 

I did. I am working with him. That is one reason why I posted this up. He wants a direct side on picture(large and clear) of a ground effects piece showing the location of the holes, so he can line it up with the dimensions of the emblem and check it out for me.

My car is at the body shop getting painted....

 

He's really good to work with, I'm assuming it's Roger through the website. A couple of e-mails and phone conversations and we had the 383 design all worked out. They shipped within the week of having the final design made.

 

Yeah, he is. I'm working with Roger directly. he just doesn't have a third gen with the ground effects that he can look at to confirm the holes aren't visible with the emblems installed. Anyone?

 

Maybe if you cut out a piece of ABS the shape of the depression, then apply your emblems to the ABS. That's pretty much the way it is as stock. Paint the plastic to match the car...

 

Honestly if your looking to truely one off custom emblems that are of the highest quality... You need to message FSTFBDY. He custom designs and sells BILLET emblems. I have a set of his, and the fitament is perfect with no worry about holes since it is one solid piece of billet aluminum...

these are the pics I have of mine with a black background, and polished lettering




and a dash emblem to top it off

 

They do look good. I was wanting black or dark because I have a gloss blue/satin black look going on...


I may do that....Pricing?

 

MAN, BADNBLK..your car is GORGEOUS!!!
Love the whole look of that car! (also the badges are kick a--)

 

I'm sure he could do it for you anyway you want. I know the he can design different script and stuff if you wanted something other than the OE font. Pricing is probably close to double what you were looking at, but you gotta rememeber these a BILLET emblem, not a small piece of flimsy stainless.

The pics I have of the exterior emblems don't really do them justice. PM FSTFBDY

Thanks man! A labor of love as I'm sure everyones car is here.

 

Just PM him.....

 

I would PM him, BUT I'm mainly looking on help on getting these emblems ordered. (ie anyone have them and do they cover the holes I'm concerned about!)

Thanks

 

Well post pics of those other ones (sheet metal) when you get them, so we can all see how nice they look.

 

IF I can even see if they will work, I may...

sarcasm much?

 

Thanks for the complements.

If your worried about the holes not covered with emblem pros stuff. Fill the holes in with a good 3m body bond. smooth it out. and paint the incert before you put on the emblems.

The emblem Pro set for $50 is a good deal for the budget minded person who just wants replacement emblems.

I can say If mine were set beside those its no compassion of the 2 sets.(apples to oranges) Mine is a 3d billet looking piece. Its exact same size as stockers. Thickness and all. No need to re-use any pat of the stock emblem. Mine is a complete direct replacement.

Few pic's to show the diff.

 

Do you have these in red? If so i'm down for my 91, i'm going for the black and red color scheme.

 

Ended up getting new GM ones all around. My car isn't a "billet" type car in regards to emblems. I'll leave them on my truck.

Thanks for the help though people.

 

Yeah your car is not the billet type... as a matter of fact you should pack up those Horrible 19" wheels and send them to my house to keep that non customized theme the car has going LOL!

You really need to work on some really nice taillights as I see from the build thread you got going... nobody is gonna see anything but the rear end of that car.

 

Yeah, I know. just figured with the roadrace look going on, you wouldn't see many roadrace cars with billet emblems. New GMs were more but go with my theme I see in my head.

Yeah, I miss the 19's a LOT! they are in storage while the car is being painted. I can not WAIT to toss them back on!

I did recently clean and polish my lights, but after having smoked and tinted ones, I wanted these to be 100% stock!
