Are these really worth this much (the bidding is at $152.00)

I have a new set in gold that I recieved with my 89 vert
but I had no idea that were so spendy ?

 

No way. Some people just have no clue!!!

 

These have been discontinued, so it's a matter of supply and demand; I'd snag 'em if I had the cash because I'm restoring my '89 and I don't know of any aftermarket shops that carry these emblems or the rear panel 'IROC-Z' emblem in silver/gray.

Anyone who knows where to find new/reproduction silver/gray 'IROC-Z' rocker and rear panel emblems should feel free to share the info

98U, ultra blue metallic?

 

I wonder if you took them to a sign shop would they be able to reproduce the emblems accurately, if so snag these ones off ebay and have a bunch made so you can make a killing

 

I guess you could call it that; I've always known it as Bright Blue Metallic

89_IROC is right, they were discontinued a long time ago. I did a lot of calling around and found these two at 2 different dealerships. They were around $60/ea. As more time goes on and the fact GM is not authorizing anyone to make these, if you want some you better snag them. BTW mine have been for sale, $200 firm. A lot of people have been offering me a $100 for mine, as the auction shows they are worth more. It will be interesting to see what they go for on Ebay. If I don't sell them I will keep them since they are not taking up a lot of space.

 

The emblems on Ebay went for $179.50 for anyone that cares.

 

I made my own for about $15

 

Here are mine!and they will never break, Polished Billet Nose, Dash, Rockers & Rear

 

I'd snag those in a quick minute if I weren't broke due to this restoration - since that's the case (and has been for some time), I just refurbished my originals

I am curious, however, to know how stalin05 made his...

PS - Those are beautiful emblems, chevyguy!

 

i just bought a big piece of plexy glass from home depot, had my local custom shop make me some black IROC-Z stickers, cutt the plexy glass to shape, sanded, buffed, and there ya go!

 

holy moly
VERY nice work.
any for sale?

 

Not at the moment that is the only set that I have, but in the future I will be selling them as sets just like what you see, 1 Nose Badge, 1 Dash Badge, 2 Rocker Badges & 1 Rear Bumper Badge!

 

um, yea.... ill have to keep an eye on you. id get them, then powercoat them black and silver, to try and mimic a stock emblem. i think that would set them off even more. im not much of a flash guy, so you prolly think im crazy.

 

I'm replacing mine (missing) with used ones. The used ones are a little scratched up so i need to polish these. Does any one know of the best way to polish the rocker emblems gently without destroying them. The ones i have are gold and somewhat rare also - I cannot find new ones.

Thanks, Cocacolakidd.

 

3m or meguiars clear plastic polish.
keep rubbing, it does wonders.

 

Thanks for the info on 3m and meguiars. I will look for it next time I'm at the Auto Store - Cocacolakidd

 

marine shop might be a better bet. they stock it for cleaning plastic windows and stuff on boats.
i could tell you to wetsand them and use some other personal tricks i do.... but i wouldnt do anything to the emblems you didnt have to.
irreplaceable.

the polish may not bring them to the shine that you can achieve by other means.... but its 100% safe and will look 110% better.
good luck!
