Default Emblems Nose/Gas Cap

I've just bought my second set of emblems, the initial and the second pair both bubbled up and turned yellow. Is there a set of high quality emblems out there that wont do this in a couple years like the others? I dont keep my in a garage so the sun eats up the regular ones.

There's only one source for 81 emblems. Unfortunately, even the original GM ones had issues, the plastic flag inserts tended to fall out.
