I was at a local dealership couple weeks ago and try told me they can still get nos fender emblems and they went that badly priced
If you just looking to get one emblem this is the cheapest by far only $48 free shipping and for a full set of 5 pcs thats 3 pcs of T6 Grand National plus two intercooled emblems all for $ 162 shipped the seller has 100 percent feedback worth a try.

thats where i got mine.
Were you able to get this resolved with Kirban??
I just figured that's how the new emblems looked so I threw the set in my parts box for maybe some other future use or sale. Also they were not in GM bags like the ones that I was use to buying back in the 90's from buick.

What about a year ago when this post was made,were they then 100%?? And are you saying that there are no slight color differences on the actual emblem itself between production runs over the years?? By the way only way that anybody would actually care about the color of the sticker on the back would be if it had your autograph the great Mr DK

The reason I brought up about the various colors of the protective coating on the back is someone posted awhile ago stating only one color is correct and other colors are not.
I have still in the GM wrappers unopened emblems with 3 different color coatings on the back to disprove that thinking.

here is another example: My background started with GTOs if you remember what the 1967 GTO front end looks like it have a left and rite black plastic shell with a brite metal mesh grille that attached to each side.
When GM ran out of the one side of the black plastic shell they made another run...only problem is the side they re-ran was a flat black and the other side was a satin black. A noticeable mistake when customers would install a set of new grill surrounds and discover that the grill surrounds did not match each other....

Just one of many examples....I am sure...

Again no on is talking about the color of the protective piece of paper on the back side of the covering the sticky tape. This was my point on the left 100% original GN emblem. On the right 100% original Kirban GN emblem. That's all I was saying the colors are slightly different and I ended up liking the ones that were on the car cause the new ones made me think that they were a blemished production run

I was merely citing other examples of items that can change based on different runs.
