I think the problem with these Sparks emblems, besides the metal between the S, is they are too short, only 1 section high on the heritage puts them the same as stock SS height.

The retro SS and the Trailblazer SS are both two sections high on the Heritage which I think, by my eye is just right.

Like the Berger Camaro SS grille emblem here:

Are the front and back the exact same size? Or is the rear bigger?

The trailblazer emblem is the perfect size but its not a 5th gen =/ Either way this is progress and I'm glad to see things moving forward to get these emblems to people that want them. Even though we may think the front is a bit too small, other people will like it. Its all about options.

On the other hand the rear emblem is wicked.

I agree!!!!!!!!!

Hey Taylor, the front is smaller.

Thats what I thought. I think this is the perfect size for the front.

CyberDan · 11-04-2010, 07:53 PM

I kind of like that the front emblem is smaller since the heritage grille appears to be more narrow than the stock grill

rangerchevy · 11-04-2010, 08:26 PM

At least the heritage emblem Terry makes is bigger than the factory SS emblem. That one is way too small, IMO. I used my old factory SS emblem for my engine cover. I've added a few more things since this picture was taken. My new XM antenna arrived and it matches perfectly. Terry's products are first class.

Hey Harley99, is your heritage grille painted. It's very nice.

Now that looks right, 2 sections high probably 2 to 2 1/4 inches high. What emblem is this Taylor, looks like the Sparks back emblem on the front?

Harley99 · 11-05-2010, 11:32 AM

winston2ss I didnt paint it, its the way it came.

camaro52010 that is my car so its Sparks and its the front...

Harley,
I see two different size emblems: This one which is 1 heritage grille section high about 1 1/8 inch

like this one from the Sparks site:

and this one which is 2 sections high approx. 2 to 2 1/4 inches high, clearly twice as tall?

This appears to be a bigger back emblem, bent and on the front?

f5journal · 11-05-2010, 01:25 PM

The second one is the same height as my Impala SS emblem I posted above. That should make it 5-1/2-6" long. The smaller one appears to be about 4" which is the Trailblazer size. I'm thinking Sparks said the REAR emblem is bigger to cover the holes on 2010 models (which sounds like he intended the front to be smaller (opposite of what I would do per my taste)

camaro52010 · 11-05-2010, 01:52 PM

exactly my point:
Trailblazer SS two grille sections high 2 14 inch tall

Retro 67-69 SS 2 plus sections tall approx 2 1/2 inches

Sparks I like this but it is not the front emblem they are showing.
