How badly do you want the A-spec emblem
Buddy of mine sent this to me yesterday telling me to check it out..
I want the emblem just like everyone else but not that much to justify paying this price
.
I'm sorry but i got other better things i could use the money for.

I saw an Aspec the other day outside Wal-mart. I thought about waiting for the owner and offering him/her 20 bucks for it. Chances are they will take the money and I can sell it for however much the "real" going price is for these.

Seriously, though - it will be interesting to see if he will sell it. After all the market dictates...

I was going to say, "good luck selling a badge for $320", but there IS some sorry sucker in the world that will pay it for the badge.
I too, saw a TL with the A-spec badge at Trader Joe's yesterday. The TL had the ground effects package and the wheels. I would guess it also had the suspension. I also thought about waiting for the lady and offering her money for the badge....

Until they actually go to order it and find that they can't source it. Last year, I found the last A-Spec badges in Canada and sold them on eBay and one on here. I black chromed another and put it on my car - and kept the other in case mine ever gets ripped off. I suppose I should consider selling it for a quick $250.

The originals are actually just a plastic that's been plated, I just finished painting my metal trim on the hood and trunk lid and sanded it down in the process, a little too much in one area and was able to see all the plastic/copper/chrome layers on it before I primed/painted & cleared them.
The emblems I only scuffed with gray scotch-brite, hit with prep spray, bulldog & then black enamel followed by a 2K clear coat.
My A-SPEC badge is gloss black now, with red lettering that I used some one-shot pin striping enamel paint for.
People could opt to paint them or there are places that can chrome plastic parts as well for a fee... not sure how copyright laws might come into play though.

the overexplainer
i cant believe this guy's selling vinyl 3rd brake light covers for 20+ a pop. I wont even dignify him by posting that crap. and he sold 100+!
I just bought a star wars storm trooper decal that's 10" long for half of that (for my computer, not my car).
someone should just CNC a batch of badges if they have easy access to a machine. 3D printing is becoming more accessible also. Soon we'll be printing out our own badges (like 10 years from now :P)
