300+ USD for 3 emblems? Are they nuts?

They look like factory to me. I'll post some pics here in just a few mins. Best part is, I gave up looking for cheaper emblems and my wife found these on Amazon

On the reviews I read a few people are saying that the GT letters look different.

Here’s some pics. The rear GT emblem has a slight slant on the letter G. It don’t bother me one bit and nobody at the last 4 car shows I put it in even noticed.

Thanks for the pic. The price is very very good. But the letter G bothers me :(

Old GT emblem versus the new one.

For how cheap the set is, you could always throw away the GT emblem and still use the 5.0 fender emblems.

Maybe I'm a purist. I will never understand the upbadging thing? But you can take the original emblems off and put them back on. No harm to the vehicle and emblems. I get wanting black emblems. Take a red scuff pad sand them good. Clean with solvent then apply an adhesion promoter and paint them, re tape with 3m double sided tape. Way cheaper than buying new emblems. Still factory emblems? Measure take a picture put them back on in the factory position.

Changing the silver 5.0 to the black is called upbadging nowadays?

That is correct. I think I'll buy them just for the 5.0 badges. Thanks.

Well maybe true but if it's not a performance pack car means it isn't. Like buying a base camaro, using as an example. Then putting z28 emblems or ss emblems on it. I don't get it, should have bought the car you wanted it to be? I think black emblems look better. Js

No, but putting an emblem that says performance on it when it's not is.

No, but putting an emblem that says performance on it when it's not..is! Put the fender emblems on. Paint the original GT black. Problem solved.

Just paint the GT performance emblem black.

It's difficult to get those badges off without damaging them due to the strong adhesive and the amount of force it takes to remove them. The fishing line trick definitely helps though. If I had to do it again, I would tie a key ring on each end of the fishing string to make it easier on the fingers. That fishing line digs in and it sure hurts.

No. Doesn't give the OEM effect.
