The Camaro Embolm letters on the side of the fenders are actually peeling, i discovered this when i was washing my car this weekend. Has anyone delt with this and is it covered?

Cam10RS · 09-21-2009, 11:13 AM

I would think that it would be covered if it's original on the car.

montej23 · 09-21-2009, 11:15 AM

yes its original i mean i have had the car less than a week, i guess these are not chrome

Camaro509 · 09-21-2009, 11:16 AM

They are peeling off the car, or the 'chrome' is peeling off of the emblem?
If it is the latter, and it's important to you, take it in to the dealer and have
them set it right by you.

Well its important because it looks like crap when looking at it. Looks like cheap parts and i dont want GM to have that look about them cause i love my camaro. If anything i can just have them take it off and put one on the tail.

Just noticed the chrome on my CAMARO letters are peeling too. It wouldn't be so bad if the letters didn't look like white plastic underneath.

Looks like crap but the dealer promised to get me a set of replacements to be installed by a bodyshop. Wondering how long those will last....

Ghost1LE · 04-05-2011, 12:12 AM

GM Parts House sells them for $7.50 they're cheap pieces of plastic. I'm getting Black powdercoated ones this week for $100 should look and hold up much better.

They may not be peeling....I had to take chrome cleaner to mine to remove the crud and they looked tarnished but were only dirty.

TheHorse13 · 04-05-2011, 09:16 AM

Do they have quality old school scripted emblems? I've seen some on Ebay but I'm a bit hesitant to buy something equally crappy as these plastic factory fender badges.

Noturday · 04-05-2011, 09:27 AM

here is my friend's new emblems, i dont know where he got them since his GF got them for him for christmas, i just installed them for him. but they are metal with a textured coating. he just wanted to have black emblems, his stock ones weren't peeling yet

emblem pros makes a hell of a stainless emblem for this! emblempros.com

Chrome plated plastic parts are prone to peeling.:(

Nothing you can do but buy another set, and wait for those to peel as well.
Stainless steel cannot peel

Thanks, Roger
