ebay uk badge (pics inside) horrible product

HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRRIIBBLLEEEE, waste of 30+ cash, I coulda used that for a massage hooker on holt blvd!

here it is just recieved 2 minutes before picture taken


okay, ive seen this before on evom, im aware of what the contents should be and good packaging (i guess)


unpackage the letters, and only to find myself laughing and giggling like a lil girl because its aluminum FOIL! on a double sided tape, look how thin it is! ive pmed people that have this badge, and I asked, "on ebay it looks like aluminum foil, can you attest to this complaint?" no answer, so I had to buy it to find out for myself


horrible craftsmanship, ripoff


so easy to bend and ruin the quality of the overall look of the badge


here is the final product installed, with a totalllyyy ruined T that got bent (easily bendable and aluminum foil, I can only see will get caught on your chamois towels or whatever you dry your car with, definately WORTH buying oem UK Badge!


ruined T because its so damn thin its amazing, just trying to show you guys how this can be damaged if you dont take each individual letter out carefully (i mean carefffulllyy) out of the retail packaging



all in all, guys I wouldnt recommend buying this ****, its dirty and quality honestly sucks, I could of asked my 12 yr old sister to make me a evo uk badge and would come out the same in quality.


shipping
packaging
materials
ease of installation
quality
durabililty

It looks like crap by itself, but looks pretty good installed.

If you stand far enough away, that is.

ebay, from seshoponline, its black i assume its made of vinyl which would be alot better in quality versus ALUMINUM FOIL1!!@#!@#! cant believe this!

im buying the carbon fiber version, probably better luck.

Good god. Seriously you could make that with about 5 minutes, a trip to arby's (for the aluminum foil on the sandwiches for those who dont get it) and some double sided tape. But I am like everyone else, it doesnt look bad from a distance. HAHA.

you probably got the real OEM uk badge that is alot thicker than this, seriously like SERIOUSLY, its aluminum foil just a couple of mils thicker, its horrible.

I bought the CF uk badge a couple of minutes ago from the same guy, I didnt go off on the guy since he doesnt make them, I did let him know that the quality of product is horrible and informed him that since he did his job well, from selling it to shipping it to me, it was flawless, so ill buy from him again.

I will be putting an end to this ebay badge crap, it looks like with the CF uk badge, that it looks alot thicker and more OEM quality like (carbon fiber in the back, and vinyl on the top)


if people who take these pictures about the badges only took alot better quality pictures so I didnt have to go through this
