I've had a plastic emblem on the hood for over two years. It came in a package that looked OEM to me; DCX would presumably sic their lawyers on anyone who sold an emblem that wasn't at least licensed by DCX.

Some people have reported that the plastic emblem fades after a while. I haven't noticed any fading at all on my car's emblem, but then it's parked in a garage, so YMMV.

how much did you pay for your plastic emblem? im probobly gonna pick up the metal one.

whats the big deal with the flat hood emblem being plastic? Aren't most all the badges/emblems on the car plastic already...if I'm not mistaken

• The grill is plastic
• The Wheel emblems are plastic
• The trunk badging is plastic

I dont care if it's plastic but as long as it's oem, i found some plastic emblems that are made in taiwan, the heavy metal one's are official oem.

LOL...you make a good point. I picked up a flat badge and specifically did NOT get plastic - so your post gave me a chuckle and a little slap of reality.

BTW, what bulbs did you use for your parking/city and fog lights?

I have yet to put my flat badge on - I'm kinda liking the 3 Star.

I used this thread for my bulbs

I ordered what was listed as an aluminum badge from some ebay scumbag and he sent the plastic oem version... I think it was about $27 w/ shipping.

It wasn't a battle I thought was worth fighting so I just threw the plastic badge on my car and it looks great.

Oh that reminds me I need to give him some negative feedback
