Default X Brase for a coupe?

Will this work, are the cars the same under? I know they are for convertables. Where can I get one of these? I think this and the harness bar will make our C4s a lot more rigid.

Also, where is the best place/cheapest to buy emblems?

I think you will find the brace is adaptable to a coupe... the bolts at the front are already there, but the rear bolts need to be drilled.

there must be a thread about this somewhere... I know people have done it. and I know there has been success.

I know that ecklers and mid america both sell the emblems, I just don't know who has the best prices, overall.

I have a new X-brace and used hardware that I bought and never used (custom exhaust too big). I was selling it for $190.00 shipping included to another guy on the forum but I never heard back from him so if you want it it is yours.

TEX you might find the emblems at your Chevy dealer new reasonable since you won't have to pay for shipping. They can get parts overnight with their computer ordering system. I needed a part for a 30 year old car, a blower motor fan. I ordered it from my local Chevy dealer and it came from a parts wharehouse over 300 miles away and was in my hands the next day. Thats service! Another location is The Last Detail, they discount GM parts but you have the added shipping.
