Vintage Grille Badge

Anybody seen these badges before? JAF is the equivalent of AAA or CAA (Canada).

These 90mm replica grille badges come in numerous colours: black, carbon fiber look (kinda), blue, red, yellow, pink, purple...

I came across these on ebay some time ago and recently found them again on Aliexpress for about half the price.

I was thinking about putting one in my lower grille. Don't know which colour would be cool... if any. Just a thought. What do you think?

(That's not my car. Just a stock photo with a good front view.)

Neat find. If there was a way to fit those in place of the Toyota badges I would like to install them on my car. Round peg in an oval hole would be difficult though.

I like the JAF emblem, and was planning to install the blue one later as it's of least priority. Lucky for me, my car has a gaping mouth lol.

I appreciate your opinion. Sometimes another perspective helps. Right now, it's just a consideration to personalise my car.
