Custom Gen 1 Trunk Lock Cover

I make stuff
I have a Gen 1 trunk lock cover that I refurbished. Instead of a chrome lincoln star with the red background, it now has a black background with the chrome star. I found this in the junkyard months ago and decided it would be fun to experiment with. I spent way more hours on it than I needed to, and it's not perfect, but it does look really good. I would not hesitate to put this on my car (a car I enter into car shows) if I had a Gen 1. I don't have a Gen 1 though, so I would like to sell it. I'd say the one thing that keeps it from being perfect is if you look at it real close at certain angles in the light, it looks like the paint was "wicking" away from the lincoln star all around it. You can see kinda what I'm talking about in the last picture and just barely in the first pic, but you've gotta be less than a foot away from it to really see it. On a normal daily driven car, it would just look awesome.

Oh, and the chrome looks really good too. I also buffed the outside face of the plastic, so that also looks really good.

Normally, I would charge less for something like this, but due to the amount of time I have in it, I'd like to get $55 shipped for it.

I painted it black cuz black would look good on anything. I'm sure it would look good on either of yours cars.
Go ahead and buy it and prove me wrong! :D
