Resurrecting an old thread but couldn't find another thread mentioning the faded 05' badge.

I took it upon myself to pop the little plastic piece that the 6 is located in. I sanded the faded red part and voila it was ready to paint. Be careful not to sand the #6 as it is silver paint unless you want to re-paint that as well. Painted the newly sanded surrounding with red model paint and placed a small piece of red electrical tape behind the plastic piece. Two dabs of super glue on the back then put it back in its place. Looks brand new and took all of 10 minutes.

Just thought I'd share in case anyone else has the dreaded faded emblem. Easy fix.
