Whilst you can readily pick the difference from close range (less than arms' length) the badge is a really good replica and once on a car will look as good as original. The definition on the lion is the major difference, but the colours are almost perfect. Well done, and good value at just over $50. This is the sort of repro products that restorer's will be happy to part $ for. The HQ and LJ badges are relly nice too. Byron

The LC, HR and FC boot badges are on the way along

What we found was that GM had used 2-3 manufacturers and each had slightly different finishes on their badge.You can identi

The definition of the lion on my badge is excellent, and he looks exactly like the lion on the NASCO box
