EMBLEM REPLACEMENT: Steering Wheel & Engine Cover

Hi everyone,

Long time; hope all is well during these times.

Can someone please tell me: Can the emblems on our steering wheels and/or engine covers be replaced?

I’m having trouble with the emblems circled in the photos attached.

My steering wheel emblem has some strange – I want to say – etchings – that are some sort of wear below the surface of the emblem. Cannot feel same with my fingernail, as the surface is still smooth, but it appears to be – I want to say – scratched? Strange.

And the emblem on the engine cover has become discolored. It’s yellowed, which I suppose is due to the heat under the hood over the years.

In all, I’d like to know if these emblems can be replaced.

Also, to be completely clear, I’m not looking for stickers or similar to cover over them. I’m wondering if the emblems have prongs similar to the ones on the hood and boot, so proper replacement can be had.

Thanks so very much!

Best to all always.

See attached.

Rear of engine cover shows the five tabs, which is good.

Steering wheel emblem looks better than pictured, as was under flash.

Anyone know why this happens to the steering wheel emblem?

Surface is smooth.

Car was at dealer for a long period of time, likely sitting in one place.

Anyone else here experiencing same?

Disappointing something as simple as this doesn't last on our cars.
