GTX grill emblem repo?

Post by 1bluegtx » Wed Jan 16, 2008 7:07 pm

Does anyone know who is reproducing this emblem? The reason i ask is i got one off of ebay with buy it now.When i received it today the emblem is brand new,has no stud and has part numbers on the back.But i don't think it is original as the metal is a lot softer than other emblems and just seems like a repo.

A lot of the repro emblems have the part numbers on the back like the originals, probably because they're using original emblems to make the mold. I've noticed too that most of the repops are made with a much softer metal than the originals, the road runner quarter emblems have the same problem.
