Don't judge it till its in your hands. You want cheap cut one out of cardboard.

You can't even buy that quality from GM...
I got the Sparks trunklid emblem, and it seems like it's really good quality. But, after a few short months, the paint fades AND chips. I either have to paint mine, or remove it.

From now on I will call them Park Assist Sensors, not pimples! A $2.00 option in a Camaro, $500 plus in a fancy German car.

Correct me if I am wrong, but the SS (from the new SS) is a different style then the one on the Camaro. It's not as slanted or something...

With a little tinkering to fab up a mount, you can just swap over the SS from the base grille. No cost.

Well I pay the $145, got it in my hands and still think that to much for that emblem... Don't see the big thing about it to make it so expensive...
