You don't see the kohalty blacked out roundels everyday either . $24 or $150...I take $24 .

This.

I mean, not to slam, but to me it essentially is just a paint job. I mean, I understand the whole exclusivity thing, but pass a certain extent, it's just ridiculous. Heck, if you want me to buy a pair of $1,000 jeans, it'll better be able to give me a handjob.

Heh, if I have time, I might use my old badges to experiment and see if I can paint them to a similar effect.

Way over priced. I bet they bought a shit load of them and painted them all in one spray, added decals, then cleared.....now they are selling them for a premium. Figure $25 for a new oem roundel (which i doubt they are) and the cost to paint....

Hehe. It's overpriced Phil. You can probably buy a few and just paint them yourselves to experiment, lol. You can mess up a few and it'll still be cheaper, hahaha.
