    I noticed a couple of Montero GLS-V and Strada GLX-V units on the road with Faded V emblems in the rear...

    Its supposed to be a Red V colored emblem ^ but the with the ones I saw the color is fading to a hazy grayish red....

    Probably same issue as with the Ford Lynx RS.

    The red enamel paint used to give these things color doesn't stick well to chrome.

    EDIT: oops... sticker pala... probably the dye just fades....

    Ang pagbalik ng comeback...

    Nice to hear that, I'll tell my office mate who also has a GLS-V unit (Feb 2011) to ask for the new 2012 V emblems.
