debadging horror, and a fix

Welp, when I pulled the left side badges off the back of my 5kcstq 
(leaving the rings and q), the paint handily came off with the 
emblems.  It didn't look like it at first, and I was trying to remove 
the dark residue from the paint.  Then I discovered the darkness 
was the material beneath the paint, and they were actually lower 
than the surrounding area.  That sucked.

So, I'm going to put my badges back on now.  I don't want to have 
to paint anything yet, although the roof looks like it has been 
having a hard time fighting off the effects of the sun.

I broke the 5k badge in two, so now it's a 50 and an 00.  I can 
probably get it to look halfway decent, but it was perfect before.

Can I buy a new badge somewhere?  Is there a source for this kind 
of stuff, or is it dealer only?  Does anyone have any idea how much 
they are at the dealer?

Thanks,

Ken
