GTA Emblems

Ok, don't fuss at me too bad, I just picked up an 87 GTA rolling chassis that is straight minus one quarter panel. The car is what I would consider an awful brown and I am going to change it to gunmetal metallic (I have a thing for gray/silver cars, I have a silver 86 firebird as well) and transplanting everything from my Firebird which has an LT1/T56 in it to the GTA since the 'birds unibody is worse than I thought after it got hit in the back.

Anyway, which color emblems went on the gunmetal metallic GTA's?

Gunmetal metallic GTAs got gunmetal metallic emblems... emblems always matched the colour of the car.

He is right, there are gun metal gta emblems, but not easy to find, Look on ebay they have some sets, or ask on this web site some one might have a set for sale. Hope this helps.

I have a black GTA, and my emblems are a little worn. Is there any place that sells EXCELLENT reproduction emblems, or NOS emblems?

Thanks!
Bill

dude, i could be wrong, but according to that website it looks like you have a really rare color for a GTA!

This is true, but I'm not a brown color guy.

The Russlet Metallic was only available in 87 and there had to be a reason they quit making it...

it's UGLY....IMHO
