so far, this is one of the best mods i've done on a vehicle and like it for what little effort it took, it made a huge difference.

check it out

Looks good but how do you wash it with that on it?

 

[pwinskey]

What did you use on the bowties? They look great!

 

[bignick]

i purchased another set and had my body shop paint them.
I wash it just like I wash the car.

 

[In The Shadows]

that looks real nice

i wish i could do black for mine but i would probably mess it up because i am no good at working on cars

I like that...it looks smooth. My car is Golden Pewter so leaving mine gold actually works out in making the gold flakes stand out more.

bignick - Looks nice....Great idea on having them painted.

How much was the second set?

 

[cerbomark]

Looks good, I usually remove mine totally but it s a lease and the front ones did not appear to be glued on so if I remove them there would be a hole.

 

[DOACanada]

cerbomark - Are you sure about the hole? That sucks....I am the same as yourself I prefer to remove them usually.

 

[bignick]

yeah i usually remove mine too, theres a hole on the front and the back.
i think the set ran me around $30

 

[DOACanada]

bignick - Thanks for the info - Will have to consider picking up an extra set when I pick up the car in August.

Very clean looking!Much better than the gold.
Do you happen to know the part numbers for the front and back bowties?I am considering doing this myself.TIA

I was told by the body shop that the gold surface on these emblems are "unpaintable", so I wonder how your guy managed to do it?

It does seem like the paint wouldn't be able to bond to it, but I would really like to do this to my car as well....

Would it be difficult to do on my own?

 

[2wlhyp]

wouldnt you just need to sand it down a little so the paint would stick?

 

[kdawg207]

sand and paint - simple

or just get a vinyl overlay - ryan at grafxwerks.com does it so nice in a ton of colors finished etc
