I’ve seen other post about this and never thought it to be legit because I have purchased from them on 2 other occasions with success. I had my girl place an order back in September for some renaissance red emblems for the Sup for my Birthday and was excited to receive them and install them on the Sup. I reached out to them/him after about 2 weeks of not seeing any movement regarding the tracking number. In short they said I had to wait about 2-3 more weeks because of the color. I agreed and waited. Here we are in November and finally I see a delivery date of November 18, now I’m really excited and can’t wait to get these. November 18 comes along and I’ve been home all day waiting for the mailman. After my mailman drops off a package for my tenant and the mail, I ask him if he had another package for me and he responded with a no but was willing to check for me. While I checked the website and it said delivered he was about to tell me the same thing and we were both scratching our heads in confusion as to what happened. I contacted emblems only with my situation and said that it was delivered I showed them video proof that it certainly wasn’t delivered and if it was it wasn’t delito my address. After some back and forth they agreed to send me others by ups but by this point in time I’m kinda annoyed and upset because if the other one’s took 2 months how long are these gonna take. A week or 2 goes by and still nothing. I ask my girl to dispute with PayPal and screw it I wasted all this time for nothing and I’m still out money and emblems. Here we are in mid December and emblems only gets upset about the dispute and writes something along the lines of that not gonna work for you in a condescending message through PayPal and wanted me to cancel the dispute. I continued with the dispute because of the situation and how long it’s been with nothing to show for it. Earlier today I received an email from PayPal saying that they denied the dispute because they showed a delivery receipt when they in fact know that it was never delivered because of the video proof that I provided with a date/time stamp on the video. In short I’m out the money and emblems. This is just a warning for anyone that wants to do business with EmblemsOnly. Take your business elsewhere and don’t get burned by these people.Below I attached video proof of no receipt along with the time/date stamped on there.

Just a bit more proof that nothing was delivered at that time in the mailbox and a picture of the mailman with tenants package in hand.

I have a set from them, Renaissance Red as well. It did take forever to get them and when I did, one of the emblems looked like their Pitbull chewed the outside edges to trim it to size. I was able to clean it up but still haven't installed them and honestly don't think I even want to. They probably won't last, seems low quality to me.

I should've just paid the premium for American Panda Designs and recommend you go that route as well.

I think I’m going to try and paint some old ones myself. If they come out terrible I’ll check out those American Panda ones.

The chances of getting a really good colour match with any accessory is so close to zero it's not worth the risk. In your case with the solid red (same as my car) here's what I would do. Source at least 2 possibly 3 touch up kits in the red. None of them will be perfect and then mix them in proportions until you get the perfect match then apply to the badges with a airbrush sprayer.
This is how I matched my touch up paint perfectly. I ordered 2 differenr kits, actually 1 kit on line and one touchup 50ml bottle mixed off the charts at the local auto store. Neither was that great but I mixed proportions of both until I had a perfect match which happened to be 3 drops of one to 2 of the other from memory ( I wrote it down for future reference) so now my touchups will match perfectly. You can do the same drop measurement strategy then use a syringe for measuring the same proportions and mix up a larger amount for use in the airbrush.

Thank you, I’ll definitely give this a try. Hopefully the one I get isn’t to far off. Did you use TouchUpDirect by any chance when you ordered online?

No ColorNdrive which is an impressive kit with very professional packaging instructions etc but it was way too dark. Then the auto store computer generated paint was just 1/2 shade too light. It's pretty simple to match a factory unfaded colour if your mixing up gallons of paint because 1/10 of a gram of pigment in that quantity is neither here nor there but mixing up the same for 50ml it's going to have an affect on the shade and it's a real lottery at those quantities. A genuine factory touch up kit is usually spot on as my Focus Rs was probably because they take it from the production line.
What the kit makers should be doing is making the paint up in decent size batches so slight variations in pigments aren't an issue but I don't believe they do that these days. An off the shelf mass produced paint pen or kit is probably a better bet but I couldn't find one for the Supra at the auto store. I think those days are disappearing for paint.

18 months on and still a happy customer here. Colour matched badges look tacky in my opinion.
