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

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.

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.......
