'383' hood emblems - where to get?
Hi guys
I appreciate this has been asked a lot but perhaps there's something new out?
I'm after what everyone is after which is '383' hood emblems for my L88 hood on my '71.
What's the nearest to Chevy font, i'd prefer stick on but beggars can't be choosers
Many thanks
Aaron.

Thanks mate, yes there's tons on there but i'd prefer to here from someone who's actually seen one as pics can be deceiving
Apparently there's a guy who makes them on here?? I would like to spend the money on the real deal rather than take a chance.
Many thanks
Aaron.

Trim Parts makes "0" through "9" in the exact same font style and size as the original 67-72 427 and 454 hood numbers. They install using double sided tape, and are available with the recess painted black (like OEM), red or white. They're a little pricey at $19 each, but they're perfect for making up any cubic inch combination, you may want.

I was thinking Road Runner or GTX emblems also. BTW, Your front bumper. Painted bumperettes and hockey sticks, or deleted? These are kind of nice. Might be more of a fender emblem, though... https://m.ebay.com/itm/Chevy-383-Str...ty!08093!US!-1

Hi Derek
It's a '71, the bumper guards are '71, stripped and painted. The rest are '69 parts. Deleted side lights, homemade front spoiler. Side gills. I wanted a simpler look.
I think I might go with the 'trim parts' individual numbers although the emblems in your link look nice.
Here's a link to my build thread if anyone's interested?
