just installed my new (well used) evo 8 wing, curtousy of jessep, and blacked my front, rear, and wheel mitsu symbols/emblems.

 

ill take some more pics of the wing on another day...needs to be polished and its starting to rain

 

looks really.

 

"looks really."? yeah wow i saw what you meant about it being wheathered on top...damn haha but its all good. think i could compound buff and polish or wax it back to the way it looked? or you think itd need a new clear coat too?

 

how did you go about blacking the badges? Did you have to remove them from the car to do it?

 

nope...quite easy as long as you have patience.

- PepBoys Flat/Matte Black Dulpi Color Spray Paint
- PepBoys Clear Coat Dulpi Color Spray Paint
- Masking Tape
- Newspaper
- Razor

i taped around the emblems which was quite a pain due to the ins and outs of the symbol, but i made sure to get as close to the emblem as possible and put a layer of masking tape around it. then i opened up the hood and taped newspaper around it as to not get it on the car. then i just sprayed it on. as for the rear emblem it was a tad bit easier due to the fact that you can get a little bit of the masking tape under the edges of the emblem. same thing as far as taping and paper for the back...i would suggest right after spraying it to open the trunk and lift it all the way up soo it you accidently sprayed on too much it wont settle on the bottom of the emblem resulting in a bump. as for the wheel caps..they simply pop off...

now the first time around i shouldve sanded the emblems because it started to chip soo i basically just went over it with a bunch of coats in flat black then a bunch in clear cause i didnt feel like sanding and theyre perfectly fine now...but the wheel caps i HAD to sand...the paint just ran right off like water for some reason. i would also suggest using painters tape because i ended up pulling a miniscule peice of clear coat off when removing the tape from the car.

but like i said if you dont want to do all the sanding then just make sure to put on a bunch of coats in both the color and then clear

 

u drill new holes of something? The spoiler isnt lined up to the end of the trunk.

 

ahh dam*it lol idk you have to drill 2 new ones...one on each side...and then you use one of the existing holes from the stock and idk i had a friend help me do it and he knows more than me but from what we did we figured the hole selection we picked was best i guess...dam* you had to point it out lol now its gonna bother me ugg

 

actually now that i look at it..i checked out rrm's evo and stock cf wing..and they dont look like they go completely to the edge as well soo idk

 

hey that looks nice! what did you do exactly to paint the badges?

 

Overall, looks great just not feeling the evo wing for some reason.

 

Thanks for the simple DIY

 

look up about 4 posts...a little DIY guide for ya

 

I like the black wheel logos, but the front and back would have probably looked better with shiroboi's overlays. I've never been a fan of the rear bench.

 

What's that exhaust tip you got there?
