My Evo is AS. My calipers, valve cover, hellahorns are all in Grabber blue. I'll try to get some pictures up, but It looks very nice.

I was thinking about picking up a set of UK badges, and..... painting them GB.....

how do you think this would look?

 

Not a fan. 3 Complimenting colors are ok. I think the UK badging would look better than the US badging, but I wouldn't put it in Blue. You risk going from "detail colors" to "gaudy".

My .02.

 

+1 to this.

I've got Valve cover, Lug nuts, rim stripe and front emblem and rear UK emblems painted in the same color. I was gonna do more but realized that it would just look terrible so that's why I did my calipers and a couple other minor things black like the car.

What color are your rims OP? Maybe just go fully debadged?

 

They are gunmetal. I'm already fully debadged. Can i see the pictures of your painted emblems?

 

When I first bought the car:





These are pictures of the old color set up which is black/red (dUh).












I do not have pictures up yet of the new color scheme. It is a secret and staying that way until the car is completed in the next couple months (driving local people crazy, lol). Sorry! I will post up pics when it is done though, if you're still interested. It's almost completed though - just need to finish the rim stripe, emblems and get my valve cover back from powder coating

 

^ great looking car. I will be copying this lol. I like the red rear evo 8 badge.

 

Thanks! It's super easy, just go on ebay and get the UK badging, spray it with red duplicolor spray paint a few coats and apply! Emblems are about 35 shipped and one can of paint is more than enough, so maybe another 8-10 bucks.

New colors are gonna be awesome, I can't wait til it's done...

 

I think what actually COULD look good would be if you had the MR.

The stock UK (and US) badging has the MR in red. That might be neat to color coordinate. But leave the rest of the badge the same color.

Kind of how the Evo 4/5/6 all used a different color for their numerics.

 

You Can do it and if you dont like it just buy a new set, like he said you can get them for 35 bucks
