Flat hood emblems AGAIN!

Not to beat my mom's dead horse too much, but i have some new feedback. I have tried them all, except for DFW Dudes, so I can't comment on that one. Of the others, I really like the fit and finish of the Mario one (does he exists anymore?) even if it did take three of them (that's right $450) to get one that worked. Now, it has only been six months or so, but I noticed today that the colored inserts are cracking and there seems to be a finish discoloration. Anyone else noticing this? I always assumed this badge to be top quality, but it doesn't show it now.


So, what other options are there? Do I try the Ebay ones and see what i get? Do I try Mario again, even after I was a little disappointed in the last round?

I think i may have to try it out, or go at modding my own. I've had the creative bug, lately so we'll see.

Here is Mario's email address. mdonati@interserv.com. He is still around. I just received the one he sells and it is top notch looking. We will see in 6 months

I'll post pics when I get it.
