I thought this would be more difficult. While getting the adhesive off the fender wasn't exactly easy, removing the "V8 KOMPRESSOR" badge pieces was pretty easy after warming them up with a hair dryer. Here are some pics. Neat, huh?

The website is:
http://folex618.tripod.com/

Here's the thread where it is discussed. A couple folks are saying that they have not received their order. I sent payment via PayPal and they were shipped within a couple days. Your mileage may vary.

They are plastic not metal. I was expecting something better than plastic for that price, but maybe it's a good thing because the fender isn't exactly flat, so it helps that the badge bends very slightly. Overpriced but I'm happy with them.

Thanks! I used some of that Goo Gone adhesive remover. After removing the adhesive I cleaned it with glass cleaner to get a fresher surface.
