Thank you Marc! That program was announced by Mark Reuss about 1 1/2 years ago. Exciting to see that someone who has a C8 which precluded their automatic install can now order one.

This Badge is not the Old style sticker, but a solid badge which adheres to the Valve Cover. I already received and installed mine and it looks great. I think the new 2021’s already come with this new Pride Badge. Thanks Marc

For Canadians like me and when ordering from an online Chevy parts dealer, the price for the badge after discount was less than $20 Canadian (all in). I suspect even less for someone in the States. Soon I'll eliminate one "bragging rights" item from my neighbour with his 2021 C8 (since his car comes stock with the badge). 😀

I ordered the part at GMPartsDirect and they promptly sent a refund of the amount with no explanation. I presume this is the way they are cancelling my order, but no explanation as to why (perhaps they have none in stock?). Anyone had any luck ordering one of these? If so, from where?

If you strike out in the States, let me know via PM and I'll try and order a second one for you and mail it out. Or try and buy it from my Canadian GM online parts distributor yourself: BuyKippScottGMParts.ca. I know they mail out and suspect they'll do so to you in the States (call them to confirm: 1-800-343-6640) but likely it would be cheaper for you to find it somewhere closer to you when you take into account shipping fees.

Ask Marc who started this thread. I believe he can get you one as he’s got contacts there.

I did order extra badges to try and get them for a few friends of mine who had 2020 Corvettes and who were eagerly looking to have the badges on their engines. I had wanted to post the Part number earlier that I had gotten from a friend who I used to work with. When I first went to order the Tonawanda Pride badges, I was trying to make sure that I had the correct Part Number. I had asked the Parts guy if he knew the part number of the Pride badges and he said he didn't. He went on this computer and found the part number but then he told me that there was actually no description or even an image of that part number. When I ordered them he told me that there were not very many in the GM Parts system. I do think that there will be some shortages from time to time.
