    If you're looking for high-quality flat hood emblems there are a few avenues to chase:

    1. The dealership

    2. Japanese made flat hood emblems

    3. Make it yourself/find someone who knows how to make one:

    If you can thread the needle... and if your drive can lead to Pole Position today, history may hold a place for you tomorrow.

    search. think. do. post.

    Wait I dont understand,
    Are the flat hood emblems at the dealer different from the one's that performaceproducts sells or ebay one's sell? I always thought they were the exact same thing, same quality and everything...

    The stock ones you get from the dealers and Performanceproducts are aluminum alloy. Those don't fit in the hole, its actually larger.

    The tuners one off ebay fit nice, but the quality is so-so, its just a gelled sticker that you place over the chrome disk that fits nicely in the hole.

    The Best flat emblem i've seen is the one from Japan, But they are pricey, my cousin recently bought a uesd on for 80 on Pnsji. But that thing is offf the hizzle nice and very detailed
