Where is the cheapest place to buy ~'69 style Z-28 badges?

 

good question!

 

ebay without a doubt. I got two brand new ones for 35 bucks.

 

Yeah, I might need to be interested too... I just designed some vinyl inlays for them for a guy. I thought I'd clean it up a bit for him before I installed the vinyl and put it in my bead blaster. Big mistake! DOH!

 

inlays?? please explain..do u have any pics!?!? also how is the "objects in mirror are mustangs" decal coming along???

 

objects in mirror decals are done I was trying to make them smaller but have got enough feedback that people like them the way they are. I'll try to update the page later.

As for the 69 inlays... somebody wanted reflective vinyl for their 69 style emblems. I told them I'd design it for them and I finally did so this morning. The badge was old and really run down looking with flaking paint and everything. What I failed to realize was that the emblem had not only paint on it but was like dipped or plated with a thin metal and this metal started to come off when I plasted it. Whoops.

Anyway, the actual inlays came out killer.

Here is the emblem as I got it...

And here is with reflective vinyl. Can't tell it's reflective though because of the lighting...

I'm real happy with the way the inserts came out... too bad I messed up the emblem

 

those look killer, how much are you chargin for the z/28 reflective inlays (if i sent em to ya?) and also could you shoot me a price on the mustang in mirror decals? i have paypal so im ready to get em! thanks

 

I got mine from www.yearone.com and are brand new GM replacement parts. They were about $35 each and one of the easiest and most commented on mods I've made. More people notice (car fans and non) the '69 badges than the SS hood and spoiler combined. Even if they aren't current f-body fans, tons of people say "those are off a '69 Z/28 aren't they, that was my favorite year for Z's" They are especially more noticeable on a black car since the stock emblems vanish at about 15 feet away.

 

you think you can make the Z/28 for ZR1 centercaps? If you can or already have them Id like to buy a set of 4.....and a pair of your objects in mirror stickers.

 

Try www.firstgen.com This is Rick's Camaro. I buy all of my first generation parts there and they have exceptional service. They carry both reproduction and original GM emblems. Now they are starting to carry separate number emblems, so if you like old school emblems, you can show off your displacement with these.
