[HectortheRican]

I really want this type of emblem, but I'm not so sure of this condition this one is in. I'm mainly concerned about the metal, I'm fairly certain that I can polish the fogginess away from the center. Whaddaya think?

That's what inspired me to get the emblem. I only want the front though. With the back, I want to shave everything and put the old school cursive "Celica" on the left.

Yahoo Japan?

Whole emblem just made out of plastic no metal part

So could I polish it, no problem? If so, what could I use? And what do you think about that weird dent on the top right?

I don't think u could replace that dent, even thou u mend it, u couldn't find chrome paint to make it look good
Find another one

Easier said than done. That's the only one I found after about an hour or two of looking.
