: Who makes the best emblems, --Chevelle By Chevrolet, etc Coppertop Jan 2nd, 01, 4:56 PM What supplier makes the best repro's of the emblems found around the car such as Malibu, Chevelle by Chevrolet etc. I've got a '70, and they don't have to be perfect, but I do want the factory mounting holes to work with the aftermarket emblems--don't want to re-drill http://www.chevelles.com/forum/frown.gif RC 70 Jan 2nd, 01, 6:20 PM Coppertop...I just test fitted my new emblems today on my 70 that's at the paint shop. The "Chevelle by Chevrolet" on the trunk lid and the "SS 454" all fit sweet in their original holes. These were all repros I bought from OPG. The "cowl induction" which were GM parts didn't fit well at all. Figure that one out, I would have thought it would be the other way around. JSL Jan 2nd, 01, 7:24 PM The best ones that i know of are manufactured by Trim parts Inc. They are the ones that just about all the suppliers carry. Excellent quality.

Will use them again on the next ride. bb67H-D Jan 3rd, 01, 11:38 AM Most the repop [trim parts] emblems I've seen seem be better quality than the nos pieces. But I still use nos emblems on my car. ------------- Brett '67 SS396 clone IGOTTA71 Jan 3rd, 01, 7:33 PM I got a set of GM 396 emblems for my 69 for Christmas, and was not at all impressed with the quality of the chrome. The grill emblem I have for the same car was made by Trim Parts, and it is a beautiful piece. I have no fears of repo embelms anymore. Hot66ss Jan 3rd, 01, 8:04 PM I would have to agree with all here, trim parts make the best I have ever seen, but are not cheep.
