Default 2008 vs 2012 emblems

Is there any difference in the emblems between 2008 and 2012 (front bumper emblem, rear bumber emblem, and Z06 fenders badges)? I noticed that part number and price is not the same for 2008 and 2012. Surprisingly, the 2012 emblems are cheaper!!!

Yes. The difference came in the 2009 MY for the front and rear flags. I'm not aware of the Z06 fender badges.

and the newer ones are quite a bit cheaper than the old ones with the darker grey edging. Weird.
Also be aware that the front and rear are different, the rear the tip bends out slightly so if you put that on the front it will stick up and catch your cleaning rags.

Thanks for the response. I thought about replacing my 2008 Z06 emblems as they have already started fading. I might go for the newer ones since they cost less.
