VVTL-i emblem

Question about the design:

Material:
Made out of Zinc Alloy (Metal) (shine won't be as good as the platic, but the emblem will last a long time)

OR

Plastic (Shine better than metal, but the emblem won't last as long)

Style:
VVTL-i or VVTL-i

So what do you guys think?

I'm on the fence between metal or plastic.

But definitely VVTL-i.

bought a VVT-i emblem on ebay.. around CA$10 . the seller is from Thailand and he said that its an original toyota part (with the toyota part# and packaging). I chose him becuase the US sellers are selling for twice the cost and even more.

I will post and update once I received it..

What type of adhesive are you going to use to afix it on the car?

Also what you could do, is buy the metal emblem that doesn't shine as well, and just get some clear spray paint and put a few clear coats over it. Thatll make it really shine, you could do the same thing to the plastic since the paint will diffuse the sunlight and it won't fade, at least as quickly.
