They are plastic/rubber type like in the stock flags.

Well I guess I should have just read a little more instead of just popping a post!

Looks great! I also bought a set of these from the same vendor, just haven't gotten around to putting them on yet. Great quality! They have a very solid "weighty" feel. Not cheap feeling at all.

I actually got a set of these off the auction site, great quality chrome emblem for $50 for a set of 2 but they are flat. I didn't want to chance bending the front one thinking I'd screw up the chrome, thats always my luck, but now that I hear you did it successfully, I might give it a go

Looks great!

But just a little tweaking at a time is what I did.

Good luck and let me know how it turns out!
