Replacement Subaru Badges..
So I've been trying to find some good Subaru badge replacements for a while now, since I don't really like the stock blue color on a car that isn't blue. I found a guy on eBay that makes pretty good quality stickers, but they don't fit perfectly and they're only available with a black CF background and any color stars.
For reference, here's a picture of my car with black bg/white stars. Anyway, I was wondering if anyone knows anybody/anywhere that makes/sells a good replacement that isn't just a sticker? I've found a few for the WRX but I don't know if they're the same size as the BRZ's badges. Actually found one at work today with a white one that I really want, but I have no idea where he got it (and I work in a place with 300+ employees so no way of finding him). Here's a picture of that: Edit: looking closer, that might be a sticker since I see a bubble, but I don't know where I could find someone that even sells that for the BRZ, if they're a different size.

I too wanted a badge replacement. Couldnt stand the blue. I dont know how Ford guys do it or other companies with colored logos. So i did a vinyl wrap that has a gloss to it. It sits on top so it doesnt have a 3D effect and looks cheap but not tacky and better than the blue. I may take apart the stock badge and repaint the blue black.

Because yellow on the color table is complements to other colors and is light, the Ferrari badge goes with most colors, dark and light. The Ferrari, Porsche and Mclaren colors dont dominate the surface area of the badges nor are the badges as large as Subaru's or Ford's. Omg and the old cursif font on the Ford badge needs to go too. This is why most badges are just chrome.

I originally thought about swapping to the Toyota badges, but.. idk if it's cause I live in Texas, all I see is a guy wearing a cowboy hat in the logo. So I hate it.

A small note on his/her windshield with your question and contact info might work.

I thought about it, but I actually work from home so I'm only there once every 3 weeks or so and I didn't have anything to write on.

Remove the badge and sand off the painted portion and repaint it the way you want it.
