Ahhh...Finally found the perfect Flat Hood Emblem
I finally found the perfect flat hood emblem afterall. Bought one on ebay, ended up in the trash can cuz it was cheap. Went to the dealer hoping to find something decent but it looked like my previous purchase 
. Thanks to Mario, he hooked me up w/the emblem that is made out of metal and fits perfectly around the edges, very quality! Definitely a recommendation if anyone wants to go flat hood.

That's the one I have. To keep it from spinning, you can use a little GE silicon indoor/outdoor adhesive from Home Depot or the hardware store. I was able to keep from tightening the thing down so much that it cut the paint that way. Plus, it helps with deadening road vibration and ruining the adhesive.

expensive but clearly worth it, as with most things
you pay for what you get.

OK, I will bite, who is Mario?
I bought one of the cheap plastic jobs on Ebay. Please enlighten me on where you guys got the good stuff and who is Mario (Spitzner?)?

I actually got mine from Taiwan. It is the same one though. I just didn't want to risk the badge holder cutting into the point or pressing in the paint and crushing it. That was all. Glad you like it, I think it is one of the cleanest mods available. That and doing away with side markers. It just lets your eyes focus on the lines more. The car looks much more raked with the hood emblem removing all that top side visual weight to the nose.

I sand blasted my mario badge and it is now a nice matte brass and contrasts nicely to the black car. i was going to paint it black, but kind of like it as is...
