I just ordered a couple of reproductions, I have a hard time paying $200 for a piece of painted rubber. I’ll let you know how they look when they arrive, they’re being shipped now.
The original is a black plastic frame with two 'raised foam' (not sure the correct term) decals. I looked at reproduction and could not tell if I was going to have to remove the original frame or not. Luckily I found the decal that fell off. Still have not put it back yet because I'm not sure of the right adhesive. Rubber cement?
The OEM's are way overpriced for plastic that does not hold up to UV. The black frames on mine were wrinkled, and thats on a car that lives in the garage except for about 12 track days / year.
I'm interested in this as well. My front emblem is missing one of the "legs", probably broke off from a car wash. Just have no idea if it broke during or before my ownership.

I bought a pair of 50th Anniversary emblems for the nose and the trunk on FB Marketplace. After a year, they've held up well. My car is garage kept, but I drive it a lot, so I'm satisfied.
Just chiming in to answer the OP's question. A couple months ago I bought a $20 repop from Derby City Corvettes (ebay store) and I'm very happy with it. It is easy to identify very small differences from the OE front emblem, but it looks good enough for a non show car.
Here are the anniversary reproduction emblems I got on EBay. My initial thought is that the finish is excellent and indistinguishable from the OEM. I’ll see how they look installed after a few months

How hard is it to punch the "50th anniversary" part out? Id like the silver emblems on my pewter but its a 99 and im picky like that.
