Default Trunk lid emblem has been repopped!

Of course if it's anything like their 72 emblem the holes won't line up....

Chris,
I bought two of those last year for my late build Arlington LeMans verts (yes both have Tempest style decklid emblems....coincidence?? May never know) and sadly the holes do not come close to lining up. The posts/studs weren't even on the same letters as the original ones. They were real nice looking but not usable unless you want to fill the inner/outer emblem holes and re-drill (not a fun prospect on a car that doesn't need paint). They even listed the correct GM# and I thought possibly they were NOS. Baffles me that some company would go through the effort of tooling up for these emblems and not make it a duplicate, or even close! lol. Not sure of the metal used to make these but they are real easy to bend. One of the connecting bars was bent in transit and it was like trying to make a piece of cooked spaghetti straight again! (a little exaggerated but tough to get it straight because of the attached letters).
They did refund the cost (not shipping) without a hassle so some may think it is worth a try. Kind of lost hope on finding NOS emblems.
