You obviously have your panties in a wad over a non-problem.
Pot meet kettle. I'm not the one obsessing over a badge on a muffler! My panties are just fine & dandy thank you; I'm simply amazed at you guys whining over this insignificance, which causes me to waste my time telling you how silly you sound. [moto]
I hope you get your parts but JEEEEZ just hit it with some paint already. Not that difficult, cheaper, immediate, don't have to drill the rivets out & no one will know the diff. Wonder what Truckinduc would do in a situation like this. He probably wouldn't wait 2 months for a stinkin
badge. There's more reward in taking the law into your own hands than you think.
Why don't you come up with a 'Silver Line' badge? Just drop the original in a container of used brake fluid for about a week, then wipe it off. Maybe polish it even. The logo is embossed. You don't
need to paint the letters. No skill required. Might look really cool. Anything's better than being the chump waiting for a strip of aluminum with a logo on it.
