We have various versions of this we are tossing around.
1) solid colored
2) solid stainless
3) filled stainless
4) solid stainless with vinyl stripe added.

Of all of these, number 4 is my least favorite. All of the pieces are laser cut for precision, including the tape of the backside. Also these have to be deburred, cleaned up, and assembled. Then packed up. Plus we have packaging material costs.
A lot of work really for the size of it, and it is hard to work with smaller items.
If you were making it, I am sure you would see it differently. I respect your thoughts, but we have already sold a lot of these for the two days they have been listed.
It's cool man, I will not try to change your mind. However, now I hope you know a little more about what it takes to make these.

Thanks, Roger

Roger, thanks for my emblems. Great job.

So, you might have more styles of your "slashes" coming out? Did I understand that correctly? If so, which one will match the factory red SS and/or RS emblems the best? Should I wait, or is the "/" that is currently available the best match??? Thanks for all you guys have done so far. You have some really great products, and I completely understand the costs associated. I'm probably going to order a couple "376" emblems this week. Keep up the great work and awesome communication with us.

The one you want is the stainless slash, with the filled "inserted" center.
The insert can be many colors.

Okay, but is this the style you are currently offering for sale on your website, or are we still waiting for this one to come out yet? Just want to make sure I am getting the "stainless w/ filled inserted center" as you mentioned above. Thanks.

When you but it you get to select the center color.
Here is a link.

Yep. Though, on an SS model, there was no designation of RS...the SS package trumped the RS badging. The RS was a cosmetic option and available on any V8 or 6-cylinder Camaro. On non-SS models, you had "rally sport" emblems on the fenders and "RS" emblems on the grille, fuel-filler cap ('68) or rear tail panel ('69), and steering wheel. There was also some "bright trim" pieces as well (e.g., roof drip rail molding, wheel well moldings, etc.).
