Help on front emeblem EVO9

so i been searching, i know how to take the front emblem off, but i cant find any place that sells another one thats RED for the front of my evo 9, i seen some on ebay but im not sure if they will fit, where can i buy a red mitsu emblem for the front instead of painting this one, or is painting the only way?

You can go to a tint Shop and thay can cut out a Red Vinyl out for you and apply it.

I used the red reflecting tape you buy at pepboys/autozone. On for the last 3 years and have no issues what so ever.
