A little off topic but can anyone tell me the dimensions of the OEM V badge? I got a V a few weeks ago and the previous owner had debadged it so i bought some off ebay and the color is off a bit which isnt that bad since i'd like to get some 8th day overlays but they seem a bit small to me.

i only have the fender badges. the rest of the badges on the entire car are gone.

saying that, i do like those. they just give me a little grief when i look at them and notice they're visibly faded from 5 feet away.

But I did get with the Texas guys and they hooked me up with their manufacturer, I'll be getting some made.

I had 8th day make me overlays that look like this. But nothing meats an actual badge.

Before I order on insert. I'll be prying it out and checking If I can just black it out myself.
Hmm, I'd be interested to hear about this, I have a faded set and a new set. I'd be willing to play around with the faded set.

My '09 V badging looks great.
They are hanging on my reloading room wall.
Car gets more attention without the badging.
Everybody knows that only a modded V can sound that bad.

Yeah that was me on the FS section trying to find some.

I finally got my inserts on the way, I can't wait to throw them on the car.

Bio248: if you take them off let me know wassup with them. I'll take 1 off your hands. I got the OEM new one in my Amazon shopping cart but I'm hesitant because of the 75 freaking dollars.

Black and red looks simple but I love it.


Gary Wells: them calipers alone give away the V

hefftone: I was thinking that if I remove them I can just scrape the coloring off the back and paint it however I want. but i didn't want to take the chance. I guess I'll find out when I remove them this Monday or so.
