Question Aftermarket flat front hood badge
I just installed an aftermarket (ebay) flat hood badge. The crappy part that it is NOT flat against the hood. I'm sure you guys know what I mean. I have two gaps on both sides. I'm very **** about my toys and it bothers the crap out of me.

Question... Is there a known aftermarket brand that will fit flat against the hood? And if not, if I get an OEM one will it fit flat?


Thank you in advance,
EDude

I had the same issue as you..I actually ordered two from different places, they both had small gaps. I eventally went to my local shop and had a custom one installed....simple all black emblem. It's plastic/rubber and fits in nice.
