Default New bonnet badge falling apart (from Design 911)

Anyone had problems with new OEM badges (from Design 911) falling to pieces? I bought one in 2013 and 18 months later all the lacquer had come off. They replaced it but now (early 2016), it's happens again. I mailed them and to no avail.

Not very impressed with product or service. Anyone had similar exerience?

Got mine from a known north western dealer, same thing. The 'decal' like fillers came off in a couple weeks on the road. Got it in late 2014, replace in 2015. No problem since.

So the hood crest that they made a big stink about producing the "original" way is falling apart?

China's pretty much the only country that does that. They're all hand painted.

I have a silver badge. Still have my original, other than a little faded, it's still in good shape.
