Speaking of emblems & badges...I buy old 914's and part them out on eBay. Not as a business but more as a hobbie. I get a parts car and keep the better stuff for my own 914 and sell the rest. Sometimes I get parts at the local wrecking yard too.
For a while, I was making quite a bit of extra cash so I decided that I would try "rice burner" parts. Afterall, they are popular with a certain crowd and honda's are a dime a dozen at the wrecking yard.
So, I went to stock up on Honda/Japanese emblems, door handles, etc...and literally, every part I attempted to remove from a wrecked Honda.....Broke. You cannot remove a Honda emblem without it breaking because they are cheap plastic.
That said, there's a reason Porsche parts are expensive - the quality is generally there. I don't ever put anything but genuine or oem on my car!
