Affalterbach Badges

I've searched the forum, ebay, google, and asked JBSpeed if they had any for the SL and can't find them. Does anyone know where or can link me to a site to order these for the hood and trunk?

I did the same, you are not going to be happy. The are plastic and the emblem is off center to the hood, it looks horrible. I did not see the JBspeed post on this forum before I got the crappy one. I just ordered a set of JB's today, they are metal and look to be more of a better fit. But we'll see when they get here.

I'd love a quality affalterbach hood badge.

Please post back your opinion of the quality of the JBspeed piece.

Thanks,

Ok can anyone give me a quick DIY on the trunk emblem install? The factory one has 3 prongs that just push in and the new emblem need to be bolted in to place. How do I get to the back of the emblem?
