For people with the cross flags, the red, blue, black and white are fading from my emblems. Anyone else having this problem? Can't remember where I bought them and don't want to get replacements from same place. Probably at least year and a half old.

Try Third_Shift Studios. They have some custom emblems with the flags.

Wait on if you can the emblems from the commemorative edition they look awsome. that is if they release them i`m praying.

I have two brand new ones I never used them because I had something else made up by Emblem Pro's. I got mine from Rick's Camaro I would let them go for about $10 bucks each.

Do you have pics? Assuming op doesn't want? Also what are the emblems from the new commemorative one?

96MrBass · 12-02-2014, 05:48 PM

I can text some pics the emblems are the retro cross flag's from the 1st gen. PM me if interested

if you are looking for the commemorative flag emblem for your 5th gen they usually cost around $60, the GM P/N is 23171889

Which ones are they? I know some reproductions are not for use on a driver because they will fade and sometimes start rusting. I had that issue with some 56 Chevrolet emblems I bought once.

They are the ones from '67. I forget if they are repros or not or how much I paid for them. The emblems on my Impala look better and they're 50 years old!

Yea I have the same problem. Applied clear coat before I first mounted them and they still peeled in spots within ~6/7 mos. Then I applied adhesion promoter and repainted them and again applied clear coat ...some peeling again in less than 6mos

Guess I'll just keep on repainting them every now & then ...no big deal but would rather not have to.

Edzo · 12-03-2014, 03:27 PM

Where did you get them? I'm guessing I got them at either Rick's/Ecklers or Classic Industries. Might try Original Parts Group. Anyone have experience with them from there?

Yep I think they are made for show and not go. I think the factory originals use a tougher paint that is baked on. My opinion is if you want them on a driver NOS is the way to go if you can find them.

Does anyone know if this comes as a pair when you buy online?
