Default Emblems for an '81

I need to purchase new emblems for the nose and gas tank lid. I went to year one and they have listings for the '80 and '82 vettes, but nothing for the '81 vette. They both have different PNs so I'm having a hard time here. Any suggestions?

Also, if someone knows of cheaper places to order these, please chime in!

Thanks!
Chris

Sorry...this should've gone in the "general" section..

If you are not 100% picky, get the emblems for the 1980. The only difference in 1980 - 1981 emblems is that the '81's had a black edge around the emblems and the '80's had a chrome edge. That's it.

It seems to me that in my latest Eckler's or Mid America catalog, the 81 nose emblems showed up again after being absent for a while. They have got to be repros from somewhere, cuz they were about 10 bucks cheaper than the 80 & 82 versions.

Lemme look online...

Hmm, not seeing them.

If I remember, I'll try to look tonight & post a part number.

There are some new ones offered on EBay.....I have an 80 model front emblem if your interested. Looks good, but one of the tabs is broken on the back.

They almost look identical. The 81's V is also just a bit wider, but most folks can't tell the difference. The 80 is on top.......
