Where is the best place to buy trunk and hood emblems? Or exterior bits in general for that matter?

quality most likely. ebay stuff tends to fade rather quickly and leaves a nasty yellow fade. just go with the germanautoparts one or oem unless you want to keep replacing them in the future.

Truth right there. The ebay roundels are cheap junk. I had a set and after two years I ended up putting the originals back on because they looked better.

I have had an eBay emblem on my hood for a couple months, and it's already peeling. $5 shipped is hard to argue with, but it isn't really worth it, unless you just want a bandaid.

I should have specified, I got some legit ones on ebay for around 15-20 bucks and they are going on 2 years still good.
