I kind of thought it was a bit cheesy myself...but I have often thought that what's good for one might not be good for another...so live and let live, if you will.

I will look around for you and see what I can find. I'm guessing that's about the size that you want, you never know what you'll find in these border towns.

No bigger than 3.5" at its largest point I suppose. And yes a flat back. Of course, I'll be expecting instruction on how to mount it.

hehehe, this is neat as hell.

Stones, like most emblems with a flat surface they use 3-M 2-sided tape. It's easy to use too.
Appy it, trim away the excess with a razor blade. Whala! it's ready to be mounted.

I had the antique-gold upswept Eagle with bar that I removed from my air cleaner cover. It didn't go with the look I wanted.
I soaked it with a little "Goof-off" (that stuff is the best adhesive remover I've ever used) and with a little help, it came right off.
What sticky **** that was left, easily came off with another application of the remover.
