GTA Badge for car poster.

I'm working on a display poster for my car when I go to shows. I haven't even really finished the layout of the poster, but one thing it WILL have is this GTA badge. I will probably do a nose emblem as well so I can pair them together.

Enjoy. There is still some tweaking to do (rounding the sharper edges of the text a bit to more closely match the real badges for example).

Re: GTA Badge for car poster.

I like the idea of using a nose emblem too.

I just ordered repro badges, I hope mine don't look like those.

Those look NOTHING like my original badges (missing nose badge, fender badges not in the greatest shape)

I ordered the set from GTAEmblems.com

Re: GTA Badge for car poster.

I'm not seeing why you say they look NOTHING like the OE badges. I think they look better (more accurate) than the PWD ones you linked to. The shade of gold, which like the tan interiors, did change between certain years, but that may be washed out by the camera flash, in the pic of the PWD badges.

In fact....The PWD ones look WORSE than the OE ones I've pulled of junk cars & have sitting on my shelf. They look taller the the Car Motorsports ones,. and the OE ones on my shelf.

Re: GTA Badge for car poster.

I just went & double checked my 2 sets...From a 87 GTA & a 89 GTA.

The gold difference between the 2 sets is night & day, when put side by side.

I've been looking at a repro set for over a year. I've had both distributors send me very high-resolution shots at multiple angles, in multiple lights.

The ones sent to me by PWD have consistently looked closer to the factory emblems I have in my hand. And so that is where I spent my hard earned money.

Once both are in hand I will provide side by side pics of the PWD emblems, and the GM emblems. My nose badge is long gone, so I won't have one for that.
