Tried doing a search, not specific enough results.

I'm looking to replace the 5.0 fender emblems as the paint is chipping and are dull. Wondering who has purchased the cheaper replicas from 50resto and how they compared to the originals (thickness, shine, etc...)?

Both sides are $15, but if they generally look cheap compared to the OEM ones I'd rather pay $17 per side for the Ford OE.

Will do iwashmycar. Figured it may be a case of, you get what you pay for. But I wanted to ask here first incase someone responded with 'get the cheaper ones, I compared them and they are the exact same'.

Get the OEM ones. I bought the 50resto ones, and the first time I washed the car the red part of the dots washed off. Now the finish is wearing off of one of them.

Resto emblems are thin and weak. They will break if you flex them the slightest bit. The OEM ones are much stronger and higher quality.
