Angry Trunk Acura "A" Emblem Stollen

I returned to my car recently only to find that the trunk Acura "A" emblem on car ad been pried off. In the process of doing so, the theives scratched my trunk.

The local Acura dealers want $40.00 Canadian, plus installation for a factory replacement part.

My searches on the internet have only revealed aftermarket coloured badges. Does anyone know of a place where I could buy an OEM looking badge? I can install it myself.

Thanks in advance.

I think it would be a good idea not to replace it, but to fix the trunk and have the bodyshop patch the two holes. I'm saying this because it might happen again.

Don't know how cheap, but at least he still has the ACURA and 3.2TL.

Interesting... I just purchased a 99 TL and noticed there's a scratch that starts 1 cm outside of the emblem, behind the emblem and 1cm on the opposite side of the emblem. It looks like the dealer just popped another on. I wonder if this is a new trend, like the Honda emblems, hmmm...

BTW, can someone tell me how to pop off the emblem? I want to fix the scratch underneath.
