Replacing badge on intake?

My clear coating on my badge is peeling and really bugs me. Anyone ever tried to fix them or just replace with a new one. The only problem I got is finding a new one off the nissan gloria intake I have. Hard to see from the glare in the flash. Can see it a little on the end of turbo. (ignore my random wire laying there and the missing bolt for throttle cable.)

They can be removed, but they are alumnum and bend very easily. Refinishing should not be difficult. I know I simply used black silicon gasket to re-install mine...has held for years on my VG turbo. Although you could use JB Weld. My strip doesn't say "Turbo" so I just put a strip of red vynal over it.

Although, I don't see why you couldn't just mask off your manifold and refinish your strip/re-clear coat it with it still attached.

Nobody wants to see your Turbo intake... just kidding my dude... it looks good having the Turbo Badge in your Max. +1 on the gasket silicone, maybe a high temp gasket silicone if your worried about it peeling due to heat.

I bought the turbo intake way back for like $50 off the z forums. I wanted it for the front piece made it easier to run all of my charge piping.
