Also a note to you who wait or don't put on winters... just a few feet of braking feet can make all the difference in an emergency.

The badge is available online on ebay, not sure if that's where the badge the OP has is from. Sorry about the damage OP, but at least you're okay. The insurance will cover the costs don't worry about that.

Having your hood opened just press the springs in the back of the OEM badge and push upward or pull up from the top

Are you sure 57mm is the right size? The biggest I see is 47mm on ebay and even the most expensive one is only 45mm.

I'm sure I've measured it.
That one on the link seems to be the wrong one.

Hmm that's weird can't seem to find any that are 57mm. The most expensive one I see is this

http://m.ebay.ca/itm/171577238864?nav=SEARCH

And that says 45mm. The one OP has seems to be same as this one. If you have any links to the correct one, I'd appreciate it. Thanks!

The ebay seller I bought it from does not seem to sell them anymore. It was shipped from Japan.
See the following link is more likely what you are looking for

After 3 years and maybe the deer, the front front edge of the badge delaminated a little. If I find it, I'll post again. The one I have is also embossed and looks great. I think it better quality than the one posted above.

Yes please post it if you can, would appreciate it. I would like the one that's embossed instead of a sticker look. Thanks!

That's exactly what I am looking for but with color. And that one seems to be double sided tape and what not and I didn't think that was the right one from what I understood.

Mine as well is embossed but it came as an "embossed" sticker too. Like I said the seller I bought it from does not sell them anymore.

Here is a colored one

Thanks a lot! I'll go ahead and order that one. I doubt I'll find a colored embossed one so I'll just go with that.

Found the link to my original order... 2.25" btw

http://www.ebay.com/itm/300652480651...S:3160&vxp=mtr

2" would look too small IMO.

I'm going to shop more before settling...

Exactly the one I have from Japan. Different seller but yours seems to be out of stock as well.
