Default 3.2 Litre V6 Emblem

Found a pretty cool chrome and black "V6 3.2 Litre" emblem that was from a 75-78 Chevrolet Monza believe it or not. I bought the one I found for $30 (don't tell my wife) and went to install it with my dad and he/I both agreed that it didn't look all too great on the rear of the car anywhere. (thought about placing it to the right below the "r" and "e" on the "C-R-O-S-S-F-I-R-E" but it just didn't look right...then thought about placing it above and it looked a little cluttered so we finally realized after trying it all over the back end that it looked amazing above the side vents on the side of the car...trouble is finding that emblem was apparently found out of sheer luck because I can't find another one to save my life. Called a Chevy store and talked to several Monza restoration enthusiasts (all 2 of them).

so anyway...if anyone happens upon finding where I could buy one of these, let me know...I at least think they look pretty cool. Attached image

Although the vintage emblem is unique in its own way, I don't think it looks modern enough, IMO, for the XF. If you insist on an emblem like that, consider this one from SRT SIX here on the forum.



I used one outside and one inside.

Did not realize there was an emblem like that available (only owned my xfire for a month)...I like it a lot better. Thanks for the suggestion.

And don't forget about matching door sills. I can say all products by Karl are very well made and hold up well.

I agree but he isn't reply'n. Busy at work I think he said. I'm 64 and have had 14 heart operations so I'd like to get something on before I die.
