How's this for suck!

I bought these fender emblems NOS about 3 years ago and had been holding on to them for all this time until I could get my car painted (check) and my hatch fender emblems. Well I finally have my hatch emblems on the way (NOS as well) and I had stuck the fender emblems on to check them out. Drove down the street to check on some parts and

DAMN!!

Lost one of the emblems. Got no more than 5 miles down the road and one fell off. Drove back and forth without spotting it so this morning I got out there while traffic was real light and walked the trip. Found it. Both of the mounting pins had broken off the back and the chrome is now all scuffed up. I haven't seen a NOS set sense I got these. I did just locate and buy one ($6) off Ebay that is in relatively good condition that I should be able to refinish, but

DAMN!!

Top picture is the scuffed one and the bottom one is the still new one. Picture of the new one doesn't show how good it really looks. Later, QD.

I was going to do that, but, as stated in the opening post, I located one that might be in good enough shape that still has the pins on it. Later, QD.

Why did it fall off?

Why did it fall off?

I had thrown it on there on Friday night to see how they looked. Saw that they weren't that tight/snug to the fender, but it they seemed to be "lodged" in there good enough. I got called into the house so I went in and didn't think about going back outside. The next day, I jumped in the car to go to a Honda dealer to locate some emblem nuts to more secure it and didn't think to take them off. Damn, lolol.

Not only do I have one on the way from Ebay, but another acquaintance shot me an E-mail last night saying he had one in very good shape on the way in the mail to me. I just got back from the dealership from picking up the emblem nuts.

For real, man. Especially with this car when you can't just pick up spare parts when you want. Later, QD.
