Chevy | GMC 1988–1998 Patriot Anodized Billet Pillar Emblems

Sold as a Pair | 1988–1998 Chevy/GMC OBS

American pride meets precision billet in bold color. Our Patriot Anodized Billet Pillar Emblems feature the American flag laser-marked on solid aluminum, with side-specific artwork so Old Glory appears to fly correctly with the wind on both sides of your OBS truck.

Each emblem is CNC-machined from solid 6061-T6 billet aluminum, anodized in your choice of red or black, and precision laser-marked for crisp flag detail. This is a distinctive OEM+ finishing touch for restorations, street trucks, and custom OBS builds.

Patriot Flag Orientation

Unlike identical badges installed on both sides, these emblems use distinct driver- and passenger-side flag artwork. The flags are oriented to appear as though they are flying in the wind on both sides of the truck. Test-position the emblems to confirm left and right placement before removing the mounting tape liner.

Finish shade and engraving contrast may vary slightly with lighting, display settings, and normal anodizing batch variations. Both emblems in a pair are supplied in the selected color.

Mounting Options

• Install Yourself — $42 per pair: Supplied without adhesive; use a suitable automotive-grade emblem adhesive.
• Pre-Cut 3M™ VHB Tape — $49.50 per pair: Includes precision laser-cut automotive mounting tape for hidden coverage without trimming.

Installation & Care

Remove old emblem adhesive, then clean and dry the mounting surface. Identify and test-position the correct driver- and passenger-side pieces before installation. Follow your chosen adhesive manufacturer's preparation, pressure, and curing instructions before washing the vehicle.

Clean with mild automotive soap, water, and a soft microfiber cloth. Avoid abrasives, harsh chemicals, and aggressive rubbing across laser-marked graphics. Do not use metal polish on anodized emblems, as it may damage or alter the coating.
