Boned on Ebay deal ( Roundel Reps )

ok i got bonned on a ebay deal, now i need new new...emblems

my emblems have gone to hell..chipped, discolored, and what-not. Now i want to look for -full replacements- and my eyes turned to ebay.

first off this isnt some sad thread, im want to know the sellers name, one who acutally sells good quality emblems...my old ones went bad in less than 3 months. not OEM....BLK/WHT. please

1. can anyone reccomend a ebay seller of anyother.
2.Black / White preffered no carbon - if possible



anyone got FB on them? suggestions? i somewhat feel more comforted with USA retailer, local but what ever.

PS. anyone have a link to xexonspecialist for the spoiler?

The ones I got from eBay are holding up great so far, not yellowing or chipping at all yet. They seem close to OEM quality, especially on the wheel roundels.

Just looked in paypal history for seller and got: Seller's ID:
autoemblem_attic Seller's Email:
[email protected]

And here's the seller store... eBay Store - emblemshoppe:

But looks like they don't currently have the plain black/white ones I got as a 7 peice set for $30.

Yeah, that's the ones I got... and the shipping was actually pretty fast for international. And I was able to find multiple sets in the store with lower prices. My total after shipping was only $47.

The wheel roundels are perfect and they feel just like OEM, but the hood and trunk roundels do have that soft feeling clear layer on them. They haven't turned yet and show no signs of wear at this point, but it has been less than 1/2 a year since I got them. I have seen some at work that are so horribly weathered and yellowed that you can't even see the roundel in there so I know that may be in my future. I figure they'll last a year or so before they start to look bad, at which point I'll just order a pair of replacements.
