Car Badges

Im looking to replace the stock badges on the back of my car with something else. Give it a unique look. After having searched this site for similar posts, it seems there have been others that have has success with this.

What doesnt seem to be present is where these badges were purchased? Any one care to share what sites are availible? Ive searched various search engines but havent come up with too much. Looking more for a reliable site with reliable product then to have to do the trial and error myself, especially when members have done this already.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Here's how I removed the lettering:

1. Waited for a warm day (or you can use a hair dryer, heat gun, etc)
2. Used dental floss or fishing line to ease the letters off by cutting through the adhesive backing
3. Cleaned up all the remaining adhesive with Goo Gone (you can use rubbing alcohol too)
4. Washed the formerly badged area with soap and water to get rid of the remaining adhesive and Goo Gone.

For the Nissan emblems, I think they are screwed in, but I've never even bothered with those.

its stuck on but unlike the others, it has two pegs that go in to holes in the trunk lid. if you remove the emblem you will have two small holes

I dont care to copy you, I think your idea was one of the most original ideas Ive seen on this site thus far. I have my own ideas of what I want to do. If you know of any other sites to order these from, let me know. I would like to explore all my options before I order.

Congratultions on using OEM spec badges. Thats a little too close to stock for me. But when it comes down to font and size, its all personal preferance. Not one is better then the other.
