I did this a few months back. The black letter fill fell out of the "tw" the badge itself seems good quality. I think the chrome plating doesn't give the letter fill anything to bite to.
I will eventually remove all the color and plasti dip the whole thing.

If your putting it it the same spot, try to gently bend the badge to better follow the trunk contour.
The adhesive tape that comes installed was a little thin.
I added a layer of 3m tape on top of that, seems to work pretty well

The chrome on mine is already starting to discolor. Only had for about 6mos.

I'd like to do this also but I'd rather pay a bit more and hopefully avoid the chrome discoloration and flaking paint. I don't care if the material is plastic.....as long as it holds up. I mean $7.95 is pretty cheap. Anybody find some higher priced options? I don't want an Ecoboost one. The 3.5 L TWIN TURBO content works for me

Billet Badges was an interesting site, but at first scan through I saw no 3/4 in X 6 in options. The smallest was 1.5 in.and that's bigger than I had in mind. I didn't find the pricing too bad.... $45 compared to $7.95, as long as the quality was there. The size and layout of the cheap one is exactly what I'm looking for.

I ordered one of these from ebay. I will try to reproduce something like your picture

That is what I have on my rear quarter windows but the Will not fit on the rear trunk area because it is not flat .
You would have to ask them if they could be made to have a curve in them .

I ordered 2 of the $7.95 versions. I have plenty of plasti dip for an upcoming project. I wonder if dipping the badges with just the glossifier will protect them from dis coloring or peeling? I like the badges the way they look and don't want to change the color. Anyone have any opinions on this?

I'm trying to find something that looks a little better than the plane SHO badge on the back. Anyone here replace it with anything?

Yeah the back is curved so I'd need a small one. Thinking a TT badge would be cool.
