almost have car repaired... need help with emblems

[j13smiley]

getting to final stretch of repairing the tta...

my stock front nose emblem has a rock chip.... since the front bumper is getting repaired i'm debating using this time to replace the emblem with a clean one. i know the repro ones are available (car motor sports) but they have black lettering not he stock gold lettering.

if i remember correctly - these were the only stock colored repros - http://pwdstore.com/index.php/cPath/2_30 but they are no longer available.

so is there a way to tell if a front nose emblem is NOS or repro assuming it has gold lettering? are there any curved ones available? did the stockers have the stud on the back (if i get a repro should i get the stud or no stud)?

is something like this a repro? http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Pon..._DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2335c13c02#shpCntId
or maybe i should just get a complete set... http://www.ebay.com/itm/89-Pontiac-...Parts_Accessories&hash=item19dca671a6&vxp=mtr

I would get the whole set, and there is a trick to getting the flat nose emblem to mount on the curved point of the bumper cover, there was talk of this on turbotransam.com
Do a search there and you will find some more info, I think they cut the 3m stick tape out of the middle of the emblem or something.
