Dr. RX Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 (edited) I'm looking for some close up pictures of good quality badges on an 83 or 84 Turbo Coupe, especially the cross shaped badge under the "C" pillar. I'm also looking for complete cross badges, no matter what shape, as long as they are in one piece.

Turbone Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 Here's Connie's new side badge. Here's a old original. Here's one with a decal over the original faded center... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. RX Posted October 13, 2009 Author Share Posted October 13, 2009 (edited) I was wondering why there was blue paint on one of my pieces, now I know. Where did Connie get her new badges? Were they a miracle find, like some of the parts that I come up with? I need to find a place that re-chromes plastic, then figure out the Subaru star formation, that area is a separate piece.

She got the last OEM pair in the USA. The Subaru Star decal can be made by McBrat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcbrat Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 I added my decal overlay one to the post above for comparison... but that just adresses the center section with a usable fix, but doesn't help with rechroming for a true restoration...

Bucky92 Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 I got my pair from someone who works for Subaru..and he said they were the last pair. but sometimes they show up on ebay. A couple people have found them there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll probably be getting a set of those decals from you. But first I need at lease another complete one. I may end up casting these out of aluminum.

I dont have them handy right now I'm sorry Connie, but I don't remember getting them, but then I'm getting older and don't remember as well as I used to. No, I would not bug you to sell the ones have to me, I think at the time you were talking about scrapping out your coupe since you were having so much trouble with it, I was just offering to buy them from you if they were for sell back then. I'm glad that you kept your coupe. Maybe one of these days I'll get a chance to see it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the exception of the 4WD badge, which somehow looks almost new, all the others will require some sort of restoration. The trunk lock badge should be on all coupes and sedans, but the SUBARU badges were gold tone plated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
