Question OEM or Aftermarket Roundel???

HEY FELLAS!
I RECENTLY NOTICED THE ROUNDEL WAS GONE OFF MY HOOD!
FIRST THOUGHT: SOMEONE STOLE IT!
BUT AFTER TAKING A CLOSER LOOK, LOOKS SORTA AFTERMARKET TO ME?
COULD IT HAVE LOST GRIP WITH AGE AND FELL OFF WHILE DRIVING?
SOMEONE HAD SAID AFTERMARKET ROUNDELS USED DOUBLE SIDED TAPE?
I DON'T SEE ANY SIGN'S OF FORCE WHERE THEY WOULD TRY AND PRY IT OFF.
WHERE CAN I PURCHASE AN OEM ROUNDEL AT A DECENT PRICE? SHOOT INFO MY WAY!
& THANKS!

you had the orginal blue/white roundel? Strange that someone would put an aftermarket same color roundel on there... what would be the purpose of that?

Yes Original Blue and White. Can't think of a reason why someone would place an aftermarket roundel that's original colors. Unless his/hers got stolen and were being cheap on purchasing an OEM roundel.

I replaced by OEM roundels with aftermarket CF ones and had a similar issue. After about a week, the sticker on the trunk roundel was pretty loose.

I took some bathroom adhesive caulking and attached the roundel to the mounting plate. It has been 6 months since then and they are on there solid.
