Exposure to the sun kills everything! New emblem is probably cheapest solution

Shoot! Man; $30.00 is cheap for an emblem. I`m trying to find a new emblem for the valve cover on my `87. Contemporary Corvette wants $100.00 for that one, Ron the owner says he don`t think anybody makes them anymore. Anybody know where I can get a new one for a lot more reasonable price?

I bought the front and back emblems. It was money well spent.
The car looks new now

Kenv, if you're not too far from Carlisle, PA, drop in for the Corvettes at Carlisle fest from Aug 27-29. You might just find some used emblems in good condition.

I plan on being there Fri. morning for some early "shopping".

Check for emblems on eBay. I recently bought 2 brand new emblems, front & reat - $15 for a front and $20 for a rear (or vice versa), plus s&h.

On Ebay for $25.-30. is a cheap upgrade. I did new ones a few months
ago. Worth the money.
