Question Where can I get a good hood emblem?
I bought the flat badge and replaced the star but I was sold a cheap azzed plastic badge and the Florida sun bleached it out, so the nice blue is gone.
Are there any metal ones that might last longer?

Thanks

Richard,
I think that's where I bought the one I have. Maybe I will call them and see if it's plastic or metal.

Thanks

Almost every accessory I've bought from Performance Products has been cheap azzed plastic. Buy a real one from the dealer...

Get it from the dealer, I got my from the dealer.
No problems with my mine except it does not contour the hood very well.

So it looks like I stick with plastic and just change it once a year because the sun is hell on paint down here and the blue fades fast. I was thinking the metal would be better because maybe you can repaint it?
