The 3D Printed plastic has held up (I used PETG), but the red translucent paint bubbled up a bit around the edge where it meets the black paint. The pic above is from when I first made them. The car is in storage right now so I can't take a more recent pic right now.
What kind of regular abuse do you give your ****? Where did you use adhesive and what kind? I don't remember using any adhesive. I think I did a press-fit. If I did use any adhesive, it was probably super-glue.

I used some kind of liquid metal, It went to crap quick, I'm going to use something at little bit more resilient, something that doesn't crumble at least....Yea I can see 3D printing being the ultimate option, But, Being as I don't own one I'm gonna keep tinkering with adhesives.
