Camaro Fender Badge

I want to dechrome my Bright Yellow Camaro and starting cheap, I ordered the fender badges in black of course. They are GM certified but are not as thick as the chrome ones on my car now. Has anyone done this before and matched the factory ones or am I just being to anal about this. I said cheap at the top and I've seen sets go from 14 bucks to 250. I paid 75 and figured the GM certification would suffice. PM me for the company because I'm still a newbie and don't know the rules about outing bad service or even if this is bad service.Thanks.

this is the best route. There are some vendors here that will do the painting for you. They did mine and look great
