Emblems, vinyl ? Fnt and rr
Needing my emblems replaced, I drive a Florida car and last two years the island. No garage last seven years, so brittle worn out emblems. I see they are high dollar items, anybody have them done in graphic vinyl, it looks like the way that I'm leaning. If anyone knows of a good buy, please let me know. Thank you

I don't know of any vendor that offers this. Most just pony up for the actual emblems.
You won't be able to do the front in a vinyl because there are two pin positioning holes below the emblem. You would need to have those holes filled. You could probably get away with it in the rear.
My concern would be that vinyl, especially if it's colored, may not hold up as well out in the elements. Red especially tends to fade very quickly in the sun and would likely turn a pink-ish color within a few years.

I cut vinyl on the side and even I would dish out for the proper emblem. Might suck to pay it, but I'd rather have it looking right. That's just me though.

No for the stainless, perhaps if car was Black or Grey perhaps, but not on white. I gonna go to a wrap place,and check it out. I mean there are new materials out. And then, may have to pony up. I've had the car 11 years, this year has been the year of refreshing it, and falling in love over again. Love the way my seats turned out 
Thanks everybody.

If everyone wanted the same thing the world would be a boring place, That what makes these cars so awesome, there are hundreds if not thousands of ways to make your car your own, Not everyone is gonna want what I want or what someone else may want, but being able to share the variety of ideas is what makes this forum thrive.

You could have stated your opinion w/o the back handed insult. But thanks for letting me know who I'm dealing with.
Oh and BTW. After reading your retort in my for sale ad, looks like someone needs to get the sand out of her vag.......
