Need 82mm Hood Emblem
Does anyone know of a good place to get a hood emblem from besides the dealer? I bought one off of eBay one time and it faded not too long afterward. Or maybe someone knows of another seller who sells good ones. Thanks.

My experience over the years has been all ebay or even reputable vendors emblems will fade or yellow.
I've since went to OEM and to get the color change I wanted I bought a set of the stickers that go into the quadrants.

I read the same... and did a little bit of grunt work. I ordered a decal, glued it on (the decals can/would unstick). Then I clear coated it with UV protectant paint.. sanded it like mad for days.. and it's pretty nuts.
If I were to do it again.. I might just buy an OEM one, but I went with the black/white carbon fiber so that's why I had to do the grunt work on my own.
