    Hi Nelson,

    How nice of an original emblem are you needing? Would either one of these work? They both need to be painted/detailed.

    These are the two that I have. The emblem pins are different.

    Neither of those are original GS455 emblems as the pins are not both on the 5's like the one I showed you above.

    They look great Nelson. Make sure you don't snag the 4 with your sponge or chamois/towel when washing/drying your car because it will snap right off since there is no stud behind it.

    Thank you for the tip. They are going on a Super clean NC white GS 455 car after it is painted. It will be for sale this summer. I am on the fence of removing the vinyl top or I should say not replacing it, as it needed replaced. I have most all the trim and rubber removed getting it ready. If I was keeping it the top for sure would Not go back on, I do not care for them.

    Nice looking GS455. Regarding the vinyl top, it's personal preference and sometimes depends on the color of the car and the color of the top. If the car is going to be white like in your pic, it will look great being all white with nice chrome and red emblems/rocker stripes. A black top would also look good, but personally I'm not a brown top fan.

    It had a factory black top with black interior.

    That would really sharp w/the black top IMHO.
