But hey, that's my personal problem, nobody promised these would be the same size, right?
However, I can't get past how cheap these look, I almost don't even want to install them. The heritage badge, while plastic, looks much more thoughtful and elegant. The font design is bland, and the panther emblem in the letter R on this one looks like a simplistic dotted laser etching, very ebay-ish.
There is one thing I sure cannot say, and it's that these would be expensive. At $35 a piece, these are on par with or maybe just a tiny bit worse than what you would expect for this much money.
Not only is this 2024 farewell edition a simple a collection of badges, colors, the ZL1-only big wing and various bin parts (for a cool $15K, I might add), the only new thing, the
one single thing they did produce from scratch, the Panther badge looks and feels like an ebay special.
I expected more effort to be expended with the final edition of the Camaro, a legendary nameplate of more than 50 years...
