Shef,

	My trunk looks like s*** actually.  The glue held much better 
than I thought it would considering how poorly the emblems stay put on 
their own.  I was also a little more careless than I might have been since 
I have lots of Zermatt Silver left over from the wheels, so I plan to 
touch up the trunk with the air brush.

	I think that even if you took it to a reputable shop, they could 
repaint it for less than $75, and it would match, and look good.
