Default Aftermarket Emblems?

I have already replaced them once a few years ago and they are already looking rough. Obviously there is oem, but trying not to go that way yet. I found some knockoffs on Vettenuts and they said they were high quality. Any other options? Thanks!

I want the oem style flags, without buying the high dollar emblems.

I bought OEM emblems on Amazon and they weren't expensive.

You need to look through the listings to see which ones are or aren't oem. I think I paid around $ 55 each

The original emblems on my 1998 were tired.. They started to fall apart.
I purchased the pair on Amazon for $50..
The quality looks great.. IDENTICAL to the originals. I installed the rear yesterday with no issues.
I just hope they hold up.. Some of the reviews mentioned early color fading.

Just as an FYI, there are plenty of counterfeit "OEM parts" being sold on Amazon; even shipping in GM packaging.

So I see the "legit" sources of these are dried up (dealerships, GM parts online)
Who has the good ones?
