Yep; sorry, I thought I put the name in there. Long day, yesterday.
Not in the picture: there is also a rubber flapper valve in the (removed) upper part, which had essentially turned itself to goo & glued itself closed. I suspect that it may be made of an example of some of the older non-ethanol-compatible rubbers.
Cali uses up to 10% ethanol in all winter-formula gas, and frankly I suspect it may be the cause of some parts deterioration I've seen in original rubber bits.

Rarest parts I have are my car, and 3 glass sunroofs. I dont even have a metal sunroof for my car, I got it with a glass one installed, haha. I havent paid more than $20 for any of my glass roofs though, thats gotta be worth something. One came from the car, which was free from the junk yard, another from a car IN the junk yard for $12.50, and the third I bought for $20 when a guy left a business card under my wiper at a hardware store with his number saying he had one from his old car he wanted to sell.

Well I understood the value of that. I thought someone was saying the red one is rare. When I think rare, I think I can sell 
Got a set of rear mudflaps for my FC, got them sold for 80 bucks!

Ah ok cool.
Cheers for the info.
I'll see if I can find a pic of what they looked like new. I've seen one with a orange background and one with a blue background in new condition on Ausrotary.

Here's a picture of the one with the "blue " background, I got the photo off Ausrotary when someone posted a picture up of their/this badge.
Looks VERY FARKIN NICE!!!!!!!!
I have also seen a photo of the same badge with an "orange" background.
Each of these badges are approx 3 inches high and wide.
Wish mine looked like this! :O(
