Not sure how the medium would look... on the website they say the large is for the hood or rear.

I was in the same boat, bought some off ebay. Took a month to get an they have white tape. The rear doesnt look bad since my car is white. This led me to find emblempros.

3M sells a 7/8” width gray tape. I picked it up at Autozone.

The emblems from emblem pros are nice, but they are flat metal pieces. They don’t have the depth/thickness of the originals.
I bought some and they look good, but they are not the look I was going for.

The tips are AWE black chrome so they start out black to begin with. However, in these pictures what you see is all soot.

Since I have Wildhammer and Emblempros both, I took a few pictures to show the difference. Depending on the look you want, you might want one or the other. The quality of both is great.

Pic 1 shows how thick the emblempros emblems are.
Pic 2 shows how thick the OEM/Wildhammer emblems are.
Pic 3 shows how large the OEM/Wildhammer emblems are.
Pic 4 shows how large the Large size emblempros emblems are.

For the grille, the small emblempros emblem is an exact size match. I don’t think the thickness difference is an issue since it would be hard to tell installed in the grille.
But, for the other sizes, medium will be smaller than OEM and large will be larger than OEM. Neither size matches. That might not matter for your application.

Thank you so much you beat me to it. I was just going to post that the emblem pros or to small or big. I guess I'll stick with the wildhammer and change the tape.

Just washed the camaro and installed my 20 dollar ebay badges. Removed the white tape and applied the 3m gray tape. Kind of time consuming but worth it. Overall I am more than pleased with the black and white badges. As for the emblempros... was not aware that the larger badges are not the same shape and size as the oem. Dont notice the front grill being different.
