Hydro dipped badges

A company called deepbluechrome on eBay sells these hydro dipped badges. I think they turned out pretty slick. The only downside is that because of this damn pandemic crap it takes about 6 weeks to get them from the time of purchase. They do look nice though.

I marked the location of the originals with painters tape and lined up the new badges in the same spot. Maybe it was the angle of the picture. I didn't want to show myself in the reflection of the paint...... Damn car is too shiny lol

No you did a great job putting the badge where it should be. I was talking about the tailgate's alignment to the tailight.

Awesome looking badges. Nice change.

I bought the black RDX/SHAWD badges (fyi, the cars name has been chosen by the wife and friends, 'shawd'.... lol.)

I'd really like to get ride of the chrome 'A' badge on the rear also .. I'm going to look these up shortly. I have no idea why they don't sell a read black A badge with their other ones ..

Not sure if these are the same ones I saw on eBay or not, I Really like the look of them but the ones I saw were close to $600! 😮 I’m too cheap lol, I’ll spray mine black for $6 in spray paint.

While I admire the look of these badges, I wonder why they are in the "performance parts and modifications" sub section. Do they make the RDX faster?

Probably for the “modifications” part of the section title, definitely not the “performance” part lol
