Camaro Emblems

How many different colors did the bumper and rocker pannel emblems come in.

Also How many different emblems came on the camaros?
I've been looking around and have a pretty good idea already just want to see if anybody can show me anything I havn't seen.

For the dash emblems:
CAMARO (black with grey letters)
CAMARO (silver with white letters)
Z28
Z28 (crossfire injection under)
Z28 (Iroc-Z under)
Z28 (25th anniversary)

For rocker emblems:
Z28 (many colors, blue/red/grey/etc)
Iroc-Z (many colors too)
RS (many colors)

For rear bumper emblems:
Z28
RS
Iroc-Z

Some also had stickers, F41, 2.8, etc.

I'd post pics, but you can find them in the reader's rides, ebay, or cardomain pretty easy.

Here's a few of my collection (it has grown quite a bit!)

The dash also had an IROC-Z badge in yellow, which would designate it as a 1990, and also an Indy 500 badge for 82 Pace Cars.

As far as I know, the rocker emblem that said "CAMARO" was on 1988 Sport Coupes ONLY. '88 Sport Coupes also had a emblem on the bumper that said "CAMARO". '88 was the only year that the sport coupes had ground effects and the "shorty" wing.

I wouldn't call them rocker emblems because they were on the fenders (no rockers on Sport Coupes until 1988). "CAMARO" was used from 1982 thru 1987.


Not sure about the back bumper.

"CAMARO" was used in 1982 only. "CAMARO (Bowtie)" was used from 1983 thru the beginning of the 1986 model year. It was replaced with "CHEVROLET" thru 1987.

And we can't forget the Berlinetta...... Any guesses guys?


Where's Willie? lol

Lurking, as usual..... You never know when that darn "Willie" will show up!

OK, let me rephrase what I said. When I was talking about the "CAMARO" "rocker" emblem, I should have said "CAMARO emblems on the rocker pannel ground effects".

My 88 rocker panel emblems say IROC-Z in silver/black and my back bumper says IROC-Z in red. But now i made my own clear lighted IROC-Z rocker panel emblems

Here's a picture of some blue rocker emblems. Sometimes people post the topic, "Is this rare?" Most of the time, at least in my experience, is that most parts are not rare until it comes to the badging/emblems. These blue emblems ARE rare, and so are the yellow and gold. For some reason you can buy the silver emblems all day long. And for those who say, "Those colors aren't rare, cause I've got some." How much do you want cause I'll buy em...

Because they keep discontinuing things. It's OK though, someday everything will be available for these cars again like the way back Camaros. (most is reproduction though, but I don't think there's a part you cannot get for a 1st Gen/early 2nd Gen Camaro) Alot of stuff keeps coming out for our cars if you pay attention to the catalogs.

Anybody know the name of the company that made the rocker emblems for GM? Maybe we can contact them direct for our emblem needs...

Usually the different colors for the rocker panel emblems and rear fascia emblems go with the stripe color on the Z28's and the IROC's. The stripe color usually indicates what color interior the car has. This is especially true on '82-'87 Z28's w/o the IROC option. In 1985 & '86 Chevrolet went crazy with different emblem and stripe colors. There were nine different ones! I did extensive research into this in the mid to late eighties when the cars were still new and nobody repainted them yet, and have pics of every different paint/stripe color combination for the '82-'87 Z28 & IROC. I can chart them if anybody is interested.

For those of you who showed interest in the charts of paint/stripe combinations don't worry. I haven't abandoned this task. I started looking into how to format it and it's a little bigger project than I anticipated it to be. So, stay tuned, I'm working on it.

Here is a question for you badge/emblem gurus: Is there a silver/grey version of the Z28/IROC dash emblem out there anywhere? Mine is orange, and so far thats all I've ever seen. Problem is that there is no red or orange anywhere else on my car, and I'd really like to find a silver one to match the rest of the car.

No, they were orangish red regardless of the color of the rest of the emblems.

They did change to yellow in 1990, but those are the only colors for the interior emblem that I'm aware of.

Heres those pics:

The Flag emblem has been replaced now, still looking for the other emblem on the bumper



You can just make out the shape of the emblem that went on the bumper (all that ist here is the glue) im currently searching for this peice as well.



And heres a pic of the Gold Berlinetta emblem on the side of the car.




And heres the dash emblem



Well there you go, the Berlinetta Emblems (for the 83 year, not sure if it changed at all)

You could always just put a rear z28/iroc or rocker z28/iroc emblem on the dash.

Re: Camaro Emblems

I had an '89 Camaro RS and it had an "RS" emblem on the back bumper and "CAMARO" emblems on either side on the rocker panels. I haven't seen that mentioned here for an '89 model and I never saw another one with that set of emblems.

The "CAMARO" rocker emblems were from 1988 only.
