Default Emblem ?

Is there any visual difference between a gm original emblem for rear corvette compared to an aftermarket one that you would buy at zip or corvette central etc?

Visually, I dont believe so... I know some were plastic and good GM licensed repros or OEM's are metal.

Ohhh, ok, my bad.... I was thinking fuel door emblem.... SO the word CORVETTE on the rear between the lights.... I'm sorry I have no experience with those.... Although I'm 99.9999% sure they were not ever metal. They all look like theyre identical. Scour Ebay and sometimes they come up in the for sale section here on the site. I've had pretty good luck with these kinds of things as long as they're licensed by GM.

The original I took off my 1985 was plastic and the one that I replaced it with was plastic. They looked the same.
