Product Description:
Hawks Motorsports offers our clients this 2012-2015 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 Red and Chrome Hood-Side Emblem, sold individually with two required per vehicle, Genuine GM 22830718.
Restore the original identification of your fifth-generation Camaro ZL1 hood with this genuine GM red and chrome ZL1 nameplate. This is the factory-style emblem installed along the side of the raised hood extractor or cowl area on compatible 2012-2015 Camaro ZL1 models.
GM catalogs the same part number for both sides of the hood. Each vehicle uses two emblems—one on the driver side and one on the passenger side. This listing includes one emblem only. Order a quantity of two when replacing both original hood emblems or completing a factory-style installation.
The emblem is manufactured from molded plastic with chrome-finished lettering and a contrasting red “1.” Factory-applied adhesive secures the emblem to the properly prepared hood surface without separate studs or alignment pins.
GM publishes an overall length of approximately 6.47 inches and a thickness of approximately 0.20 inch. Hawks’ approximate overall height is one inch. Compare the replacement emblem with the original part and mounting location before removing the adhesive liner.
Part number 22830718 is specifically the hood-mounted ZL1 emblem. It should not be confused with the smaller front-grille emblem, GM 22830717, or the rear deck-lid ZL1 emblem, GM 22830719.
