I took my car out for a drive with the new badges. The concenses was that they look bad. I am dissappointed. The badges I saw on other color cars looked so great. They were excellent matches and these are not close. They are just too bright. The discription of a candy color is right on. The question now is has anyone removed them and what is the best way to go about it. What would be best to glue the stock badges back on?

I've got to admit that the badges look very classy by themselves, but do not match the car. If "they" (Rick's or the manufacturer) can match the formula red and spa yellow, what happened here? Mine will stay on the plastic sheet--hope we can reach some kind of solution with Rick & Co. What a bummer. First the goofy looking seat covers, now the badges don't match either. That's about $400 worth of bad judgement on my part for this week.

Well, here are two more pictures of my set. No artificial light this time; first picture taken in the sun; the second picture in semi-shadows. Looking somewhat better, but I am still not sure.


I guess they kind of grow on you. As the saying goes, even a cockroach starts looking good if you stare at it long enough...

i think this batch is the best pics i've seen so far, and IMHO, the subtle contrast is striking, and would have them on my suzuka. seeing as i own a sebring, that won't happen BUT, i made fedex break down a monday truck so that i could have them and install them today - installation went perfectly, except for the last wheel, which got a tiny bubble in it. can't imagine how that happened, when the other 5 badges went so well. i'll have to figure out a way to get it out; couldn't get the badge off by the time i noticed it. but otherwise, they're stunning - i've had 2 people already this afternoon pointing at them (as i spied in my rearview mirror). i think the combination of the badges and the hardtop REALLY must confuse people

Mine are still not going on. They don't match.

I'm sure its a mistake. If not, I'll be returning mine for a refund, instead of a different set.
Please be a mistake!!!

I hope its a mistake also. Mine are already on so I can't send them back. I would however replace them if he gets a better match. I love the look on the Silver and Spa cars. This is just not even close. The pictures posted make it look better then it does in real time.

Well, there is a reason why the badges are still on their sheet...

Let's see what Rick has to say tomorrow.
