Officially Licensed TGP badges

flybynite · October 23, 2007, 07:11:33 AM

I have been working on getting some new TGP badges for my red car. So I decided to call the same place that did all the emblems on my buddy's 89 TTA and numerous other cars I've helped with over the years. He made a few calls and went through all the red tape and GM said he could do it. These badges will look and apply the same way as the originals. I mean EXACT reproductions. All he needs to get started are 1 red and 1 black emblem in decent shape. I all ready have a red 1 but I will need a black 1 (I am not taking a badge off my black TGP) You will not get your old emblem back but instead you will receive 1 new black emblem in it's place. Also he was wondering about how many to make as this will probably be a 1 time thing for now. So those of you that would like new emblems for you TGP post up or send me a pm. This is a wonderfull thing for the TGP community. Nobody makes restoration parts for these cars. These badges will be the first that I know of Licensed by GM and not some crappy knock off. To me this is a big deal, Just think if they did good, and all the other aftermarket stuff that could be released for the TGP. Like replacement hoods,rims,louvers.etc... Anybody interested??

I would like a set of 3 in red for my GPSE since I'm planning to drop the TGP kit I have in my garage in! I don't have a black on to make a pattern from though. Do we have any idea how much they would cost?

No price is set in stone, but we are assuming around $50 each.

I eventually was thinking about debadging the TGP, but that's probably not going to be til spring. I have a red badge, but you said you already had one. sorry :icon_sad:

I have some black emblems lying around, is it ok if some of the acrylic is chipped?

If they make them like the originals with the brass backing for $50/ea....that is a frikkin bargain. :icon_eek:

Adam let me know if there is a bulk discount. I may buy "some" ;) of each color to have here for those who need them in the future.
