Which supporting vendor here has the best, fairly priced replacement front and rear emblems? The trunk and front bumper ones. TIA

VetteNuts has them for $22. I’ve bought both, installed the rear. Seems very good quality.

Anyone compare the difference in quality between the OEM (higher price) emblems and any of the various aftermarket options? My originals have lasted 20 years and still look pretty good, but I’m planning a paint refresh later this year and may swap them out. The rear logo on the trunk is starting to show some age-related wrinkling.

The VetteNuts ones look nice however the ad is confusing. They call them made by GM yet they are called reproductions in the description. Hmm.

They seem sturdy and very well executed, and I’m really picky. I also considered that these are from a trusted vendor.

After a re-paint, I needed to get the 50th style for my 2003 and found these on ebay. Have had several people ask me where I found chrome versions.

Thanks for posting this. I’ve been wanting to change my 50th Anni badges out to black. I have a black vette and want it murdered out and the original silver badges just stick out like a sore thumb on it. Just placed my order for black badges!
