Ok guys...I've read enough on this topic to make my head spin. What I've learned is the following:

1. Armorall and other cleaner eat away at the emblem

2. You cannot replace the emblem without jacking with the airbag, or trying to be a brain surgeon. Which I'm not about to attempt.

3. One can try to use model paint, but there is not real chrome paint in the market..Closest is Alclad (spray) with a black lacquer/ or enamel base. My issue with this I do not have a spray gun, nor do I want to invest in one. Furthermore, I do I'm afraid of the over spray, or the spray bleeding into the leather of the steering wheel. I've seen the link for brushing on model paint but think it may look like dog crap.

Here is an idea that I'm going to try. Found the idea from some model guys. It is chrome plating film (link below). If it turns out like poo, I'll just sand and remove. As a last resort paint. I'll try to post pics..Link:

because you are spamming, i won't buy it

 

Negative..I have nothing to sell.. I'm trying to find a viable solution that doesn't look like crap. Granted I'm new to this site. It just purchased a 05' RL and love it; however, every time I step into it and have faded up emblem in my face I wanna puke. This stuff has been around for a long time judging by the website. My concern is durability and trying to contour to the the emblem. Anyhow I'll post once it get the film. If it works out sweet, I plan on try to sell it for 10 fold.

 

You make sense. Good luck!

buy a new emblem

 

I'd be all over that BUT...those plastic tabs on the back are incorporated into the airbag. You can't just replace the emblem without jacking with the airbag. The dealer will not even do from what I understand

 

No. My car is still pretty new.

Can you post a pic of your emblem? I've never seen anyone complaining about this. Just curious how it looks like.

 

I can't due to the rules of the forum. After a couple more posts I should be able to. There are a bunch of people with the same issue

 

 

I've got the same problem, here's how mine looks (in case you never found an example):
