Evolution IX UK trunk badges?

Evolution IX UK trunk badges?
I have been looking around a while for authentic UK trunk emblems for my evo 9 with little luck. The last I have heard about the emblems was around 4 years ago, so I'm hoping someone knows where I can find them or if they have a brand new set they would like to sell. The part number is SR010344. Thanks!

Expect to pay at least 100+ for the UK badge. I've looked everywhere a couple months ago and I think at best I could find was somewhere in UK but with shipping it was just way to much for a badge. Might try a non UK badge one from ebay or something soon since one person said he had one from ebay for a couple of years and was still good. If you're lucky someone will know where to get one.

So there is one from lancershop which is 58 bucks plus shipping. There is one on ebay which looks exactly the same as the lancershop one for 30 bucks and free shipping. I asked lancershop if this is the same one from ebay and they said they would look into it and never said anything after that.
There is an aluminum one from here which in the description says is made from 100% Aluminum. I sent this company an email asking about if this badge has any sort of failure like yellowing or something but never got a response back.

So the feedback I've gotten overall was 1 from a lancershop one which the person had on for a couple of years so far and said it was still good. One for the ebay one which said was still good that has it on for 2 years so far. I've read in the past some cheap ones do start to yellow and the clear coat will start peeling and come off(mine started to yellow and peel off, not sure which one was on mine since it came with the car). Would be nice if someone had a certain one for lets say 5 years and still holding strong that looks exactly the same and thick as the UK badge one.
So this is all the info I found out so far when I researched it.

Do you still have the contact information of the place that had the badge? The 100% aluminum badge and the one from lancershop look pretty good, but I kind of have my mind set on the authentic oem badge

try dave@ears.co.uk - i talked to him in 2011 and he had access to badges. not sure about any more but worth a shot. might want to check if they're OE as when i chatted with him they were 35 euros each + shipping

I've used this ebay set for over 4 years with no issues whatsoever. Chrome plated ABS plastic is the way to go with these.
