are those good reliable ones?

RichGreene · 06-23-2012, 10:40 PM

The most reliable ones would be the OEM. Expensive but they wont come apart like yours. They look like an expensive piece of jewelry.
Check ebay sometimes youll find a deal.

zayzaydaboss · 06-23-2012, 10:41 PM

ok, will check them out. thanks

A resounding NO. Those things are heavy as hell, metal with real chrome plating. Kinda pricey, but you put them on and you can pretty much forget 'em. They won't fall apart like those 10 buck specials would do. But you really got to be serious if want to go with the TF theme and buy these cuz of the price. You get what you pay for though. List price is like 280 for a pair. But you can probably find them for around 150-160 or so per pair if you keep your eyes open.

OEM are not cheap but they will look great and never have that problem. $85 a piece at GM Parts Direct

Sounds like a R&R should do the trick.

14pilot · 06-23-2012, 11:27 PM

Heat 'em up. Take them off. Throw them away. You're good to go then...

Dizzy82 · 06-24-2012, 12:53 AM

I've had my OEM autobot emblems on my vehicle for over a year, and they still look new. Best route is to go with these.

Taintedveins · 06-24-2012, 01:15 AM

Looks good IMO sure they are damaged but who would noticed (aside from yourself) Personally it looks like a war beaten emblem haha

I have to agree with this guy. It may have happened in the car wash, but it wasn't the car washes fault. You bought some cheap imitation Autobot emblems on eBay and it shows. They aren't even good copies. Official GM emblems will run you $85 each.

Since your Camaro is NOT a Transformer Edition to begin with, I would remove those emblems.

$6 chromed plastic will not last.... just replace 'em, and if you really gotta have 'em then spend the bucks and get the real chromed metal emblems.
