I'm in the same boat as you. I'd like to find a good set of silver RS emblems. As much as I would like the originals, I am considering reflective vinyl decals from AutoGrafics which can be used in place of or on top of the stockers. Reflective is the most expensive at $30 for the set of 3.

Just remember when you deal with autografics the type of person behind the counter, "Chuck":

The crewbies rallied behind me on this one and I think a boycott would be reasonable, but of course its your money and spend it as you wish.

Sure this may be a vendeta and for good reason.

There are alternatives.

wow, that thread is so old, that was a TGO classic! I had to re-read it, to remeber just what a tool that guy was.

Thank you guys, I'll keep that in mind while my search continues Smile

Might even get lucky and find some real ones.

to just put a "formula" decal on the side would be like anouncing that i have atleast a 305. that would be like a lie. i am not down with badging a car as more then it is. it's kinda "ricer". however if i ever get to the point where i paint the thing (a few years down the line, like a macco job or somthing) i would spruce it up with some decals. "formula v6" seemed to fit as the car holds to most of the formula ideals. it is based down and light. the only thing it lacks is a big engine. i would feel wrong just badging it as a formula, but "formula v6" is honest and neat looking. i would even do a "2.8 Liter FI" on the "power bulge" hood.

i have always loved the formula look. that is why i got an 86 bird in the firstplace. no GFX and it looked like a formula. i need a wraparound and a powerbulge cowl hood. Cool

EDIT*
why would you waste time modding a 305? OH FACED Very Happy

ha, joking of course, as your 305 would slap the shite out of my 350

Since the orginal topic of this post is emblems....

If anyone in the crew spots a set of red Z/28 emblems either on ebay or on a Junkyard car, snag em, I'll buy em from you. I need the GFX ones and the one that goes on the dash. (picky about the dash one, one that just says "Z/28" some say "Z/28 Tune port injection" or "Z/28 5.0L H.O." I'm not sure if 82-84 GFX emblems were a different size from 85+ but I know the actual ground effects are slightly different.

hey chris, the emblem size never changed, but the monting hardware did. the early ones had 2 tabs that they conected with, while the later years were flat and were just glued into place. I have the red ones off mine, but they aren't in the best shape. If you want I can take a picture of them and post it up and see if yoiu are interested in buying them from me.

I'm looking for the grey and silver ones instead of the red. Red isn't in my color scheme Razz
