I'm leaning towards some sort of cheap plastic sign at Wally World. I'll post up when I have finished painting everything and have the new badges on.

I took a plastic dealer license plate and cut it to match the carbon fiber backing plate. I then painted the new backing plate KAD - Gun Metallic using this paint:
Touch Up Paint and Accessories | AutomotiveTouchup
After the paint dried, I covered the backing plate with 3M clear bra.
I used 3M VHB double-sided tape to adhere the badge to the car.
Hope that makes sense.
