I'm having an argument with the body shop guys over this.

At this point I am fairly sure that this thread will show that owners that have the chicklets; have the larger ones.

Thanks guys for all of the input.
NO doubt they are 1-1/4 from day one of production.

VIN 74

Actually thanks to the gm bailout (wich was really intended to keep the UAW alive) they decided not to use them cause they (they being GM) didn't own it anymore...the union does.

If not for unions we would all be working for $5.00 a day and a dish of rice. How do you think working men and women got ahead? How quick some forget. Don't look for the corperations to do the working person any favors that they don't have to.

Whatever you do, do not turn this or any other thread into a pro OR anti union thread unless you want the mods to come down like the fist of an angry God...

I have neither of the 1" or of the 1 1/4" ones on my 2010.

My 2010 Camaro was built in May 2009 and the chicklets measure 1.120" sq. or roughly 1 1/8" if you prefer.

Do all of us that have them on their cars have the larger ones?
Camaro had inch and a quarter badges.

After the bankruptcy, GM put emphasis on the brands, not the company. Hence the lack of the GM badge on the GM website, the removal of the Mark of Excellence from dealer signs, Cadillac corporate and media contacts having @Cadillac.com emails, etc.
