GM Transformers Autobot Badges - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Hello All,

My camaro will be arriving hopefully next month and I'm contemplating purchasing the GM made Autobot Badges to place in the usual spot.

Problem is price. I see them listed online for $108-$129 for one!

It is hard for me to justify spending $200 on car badges! For me, it's either the GM ones or nothing. I have non-GM made ones I got off ebay years ago on my pontiac but they are cheap quality and the color is gone.

Does anyone know of a place to get them for a much less cost? Maybe $100 for two?

Thanks!

Amazon or EBay are good places to look you can always try getting it custom done aswell takes some maneuvering with the really good emblem guys to pull this off.

Call up Emblempros they make custom badges and they are high quality and well priced. I had them make me some and they were awesome.

Unfortunately, GM does that on purpose. Anytime they come out with a special edition they either don't make the badges available unless you have a matching vin or they will price it to the point that no one will buy them to protect the original editions.

You would think that they WOULD want to make money or something like that...

Thanks for the custom idea guys but I really am looking for the GM ones since they are official.

List price is $336.86 plus tax for a pair.

Obviouslyou should be able to get them for around 225 per pair give or take.

Thats still so expensive though! So crazy! Like I said in my original post, hard for me to spend that much on badges you know? I already have to pinch myself a little to spend so much on Weather Tech mats too!

Buy it on eBay. I got 2 decepticon badges for like 20$ I am going to just say it...$100 for 2 badges is ridiculous. Check Amazon and the like!

Here is what I used:

Yeah I bought nice looking thin red ones for my Pontiac but the color washed out after a few seasons and I took them off. Really looking for the quality long lasting built for camaro GM ones. Thanks though

Try the black ones with the XL at the top! Those are black material so there is no paint to wash off! I know what you mean though, any of the coloured ones will fade and discolour over time. Those black ones I can vouch though they won't change in color. I have had mine on 2 years now Canadian winter and no issues. I mean unless you're looking for any other colour, then disregard my message haha!

I have been able to secure one badge for a very reasonable price from someone here on the forums! It is currently shipping! One down, one to go!

Yeah he's the lowest around but still high. I tried messaging him two days ago and that was a mess from him.
