those dang crack-sniffin' punks!

Well, I need some direction, yet again!
I don't know who did it (and if I find out, they'd best be pre-buying a wheelchair), but someone used an exacto knife or a pocket knife to chip off the top diamond of the mitsubishi symbol ( ) off of the back of my 2003 silver OZ. They scratched up the paint, and left the two bottom silver diamonds on the trunk.

Where could I get another siver diamond (or three red diamonds) to make up the Mitsubishi insignia??? Not to mention the silver paint???

Thanks everyone.

I was thinking about e-bay, but I'm in Canada so anything I buy on e-bay takes like twice as long to get here and is usually like twice as expensive...

I would get it at the dealership, but they may not have the part, and because (here it comes) I'm in Canada, the parts take wayyyyyy longer to arrive (the clip in the passenger side door- the one in the door handle that hides the screw; ours was broken when we picked up our lancer and it took the dealership almost 2 months to get it in!)...

and I can't steal it off anyone elses car because I'm one of the only people in Oakville (in the greater Toronto area) to have a Lancer!!! ARGH!

but thanks for the advice

yeah I know what you mean, but it looks worse with two silver diamonds and a little diamond of contact cement and scratches on the trunk... it makes the car look cheap

Heat it up with a blowdryer, after about 30 seconds or so, run dental floss under it to pull it up. Then get something to remove the little extra glue. Maybe some soap and water could just do it ot buy "Goo Gone" and take it off. And then maybe get "Scratch Out" or touch up paint and get rid of the scratches.
