Default Thumbs up or down on this?

I modified a blue WS6 emblem to read "WS9" by cutting and flipping the 6. I filed, then sanded and finally painted the cut edge with chrome paint to dress the "wound". I know some of the peeps here aren't badge folks but i'm not one of them and the rear just looks forlorn without sumfin' there. I know WS9 is the code for the formula conversion but thats close enough for the girls I go with. I don't agree with poser badging but the code is on the door....thats my justification today anyway

If there are any blemishes from the cutting or problems it looks like you would need to be close to see it. Doesn't look bad at all, nice work.

I used a jewelers saw to cut it so it was a tiny blade with good control.
And I looked on Ebay for a WS9 badge and couldnt find any cool ones. The one I had on there before got messed up at the car wash when one of thier gloves caught an edge and bent it..it was never the same. The OEM is a nice hefty piece and the other ones just seem too thin and lack the substance.
Thanks for the replys.
