Now that we have several of these out there, how about a few close up pics of different colors. Would like to see some black on different paints as well as same badge color on same paint.

I haven’t received mine? I didn’t realize that you shipped that long ago. I haven’t checked the mail in a day or two so it’s possible its sitting in there now. I will check tonight but it sounds like it should have been here almost a week ago.

Ok Scratch that! It was in the mail today. Here it is installed as requested (Silver on Silver). There was what looks like very slight cracks in the silver paint but I’m guessing it has to do with the finicky nature of the color (My body paint isn’t exactly perfect either). Overall I am very happy with it. Thank you for the sale. I also took the opportunity to remove my rear “Toyota” and “MR2” badges.

I'm mighty happy with mine. Now the only way you can tell my car from WTS's (from the front, anyway) is ... the wheels, the sound, and the fact that he's in the front of the pack and I'm in the back. Oh, and the cracks in his front bumper where he hit the cones.

I am certainly not aware of this situation happening. I have not had one do this. The metallics have a different look and are a little more difficult to apply. I don't think the adhesive will affect the paint over time, but I have not had the opportunity to hold one over several days to get the effect. If I had any reservations over the look, I would have re-preprared and started over(which I have done a number of times). If the look does not satisfy or by any chance gets worse, let me know- I'll make it right to your satisfaction.

The quality is excellent, I am very satisfied with my purchase. You really have to be right on top of it to notice anything. It probably happened in transit or as the paint was drying out. As i said though, its very very slight. If there is any change I'll let you know.

Update: M&M has (almost persistently) offered to swap my badge free of charge and now the new one should be on the way soon. I am really impressed with his way of doing business. I just hope he makes a little cash for himself in the end.

Yep, and I don't like it. If you ever want to remove and return, I'll make it right. Not sure where the blemish came in from, but I do not want nonperfect nose badges on Spyders. And I also realize that a closeup pic like this one really exagerates a problem. I have seen it enough on my own pics. As long as I am doing this the offer will stand. Thx.
