I submitted a pic of my car and short blurb for the 'letters from readers' section of Subaru Drive Performance magazine and they picked it; much to my delight.

Print copies are out soon, but the online version is already out:

Like why I chose them? Where they're from?

I'm a Nintendo/Zelda fan. (even own some Nintendo stock) So I pursued designing an emblem encompassing the Wingcrest (triforce) from the series. Went with Gold/Red to go with USC colors/license plate frame.

This guy cut the badge and put it together with the red carbon-fiber backing.

Thanks. I was still a little unsure about re-badging until I saw them in person. His emblems are cut from billet aluminum. It was originally silver like his other badges, and he painted it with 'light metallic gold' then a clear coat. He also sends it with a 3M adhesive already applied to the badge, so it was easy to install once the originals were removed.

Very nicely done. Definitely look 'legit'; not just a vinyl overlay.
