These numbers are correct on the web but the discription and application info is incorrect. These are not Avalanche numbers per MFG catalog. The Avalanche numbers all end in 6 or 7.

What part numbers I have listed are correct per the MFG catalog.

Here is the reply from the web guy

"Yikes, I’ll make sure this is fixed today and we’ll verify the changes after tomorrows forge."

They will soon be corrected for the HHR application.

In the mean time I will let you know what I hear from The designer on the rear emblem. I hope to hear from him soon as to the fit of the rear emblem.

I heard back from the MFG today and he is getting in the rear factory emblem to see what if any corrections may be needed. He is going to get back to me once he has checked it out. I will post what the findings are.

I suspect he will need to make a little adjustment based on the new factory rear bow tie I have and the new billet emblem I have. It is not off much but enough that is needs adjusted. Since they make these the correction should be faily easy for them.

Just got a call from the MFG. They have remade the rear emblem and from the photo's he sent me prior to polish it looks much better.

The bow to the one I have looks to be corrected. Note these are flat emblems and not
3D like the factory emblem. They will look very good but just a little different. I hope the weather gets a little warmer and I will install these once I get the rear one.

I got the new rear emblem today and they look like they nail it.

The shape is right and the size is much better. The original was not only bowed up but also was larger on all sides.

He squared it up and got the size right on the rear emblem.

Now if I can get a warm day to get these on now. Once I do I will post some photo's.

Yes, 5 in fact not counting video or the I phone.

I have not installed them since it has been so cold and crappy here. The tape sticks best when it is 60 degress or better. I will get some shots once they are on.

I already posted the photos of the emblems at the start of the thread so you should at least have an idea.

Well I got the new emblems on today. They fit perfect.

The rear he remade for me is just spot on and the front one was off and they have redone it to make it fit the grill perfect.

ASM has been great addressing the fit issues and making them so they are right. Now that they have the machines programed correctly all the emblems they sell will all have the same perfect fit.

I has been raining a lot here and when I get the SS washed I will get some photo's.

Even my wife who really takes little notice of things like this said she really liked them better than the factory emblems. That is a high compliment.

Factory emblems after one year has had moister underneath. Just looks terrible. Now the mounting bolts are so corroded, I don't know I can get them off with breaking them off. It is a shame that GM would produce a" LOW BID "product to show the world. I worked for 32 years for them and this is one of my most upsetting points to management when they went to WORLD WIDE PURCHASING . It was not about QUALITY but cost. LOW BID cost.
