They are stickers so you need to be very careful how you apply them. I think they have a good look. Easy to apply, not all that cheap. $14 for the R on front and back and $22 for the R Fender badge.<\/p>\n<p>Not sure I&#8217;d buy them again but now that they&#8217;re installed, they do look really good. Long term, will these hold up? Will they discolor, peel, fade? Only time will tell. I&#8217;d actually like some feedback on this one. I&#8217;m a bit torn on keeping them on.<\/p>\n<p>Up close you can definitely tell they&#8217;re stickers.
