Say goodbye to the GM chicklet corporate emblem badge.

[mmongi7]

Mine has them and they will be coming off shortly. They look super tacky.

Yeah, I imagine a search for "GM" and "badge" would bring up all sorts of unrelated stuff, like "GM just re-badged a Pontiac for such-and-such."

Ya,
GM dropped it after the bailout; it was s'posed to be replaced by 'OMG' -
Obama Motor Group - but never was.

yes,they quit putting them on,along with the "performance division" emblems under the hood.you can buy them thru several of the accesories sites on line,inc ebay.

Just in case someone stumbles upon this thread later, no. Not all Camaros have the "little GM badge", aka "the chiclets". GM apparently decided that each GM brand needed it's own identity and that the little badge didn't allow that. So Camaro produced after a certain period do not have the GM badge.

More of a "GM went bankrupt and needed government funding to survive" so let's not put GM on the car, type of idea.
I'm a Chevy man, so no problem with identifying the Camaro as a Chevy rather than the parent GM... but it's all image, baby.

Actually that's not the entire story with the "chicklets"

They originally made the decision when there were 9 brands. The surveys they did showed many people did not realize that X brand was a GM brand. People would say "I love this car" in the same sentence as "I'd never buy a GM".

Thus they wanted to put a GM on each of the 9 brands. When they cut 5 of the 9 brands it was decided the decision to push the overall GM name was not necessary.

They used up the remaining inventory of the "chicklets", which is why they stopped being put on the Camaro in the middle of the model year.

This has been documented in several articles I've read over the last year.

Also it saved GM something like 3 million a yr or some ridiculious amount of money which was all in part of the bankruptcy agreements.

They used up the remaining inventory? What would happen if you ordered them?

I posted the part number in this thread.
