Carbon overlay install for Front Mitsubishi Emblem

So easy to do, doesnt need a how-to, but I will do a quick write-up:

1) Buy sheets of carbon fiber and cut emblems to size

2) Buy some 3M emblem tape (very thin, used by factory) - available at NAPA
- You can also use 3M adhesive, but its messy. Upto you!

3) The tape is double-sided. Flip diamond overlay over, apply tape and cut with box cutter or something sharp, just below the edge as emblem tape "smooshes" a little when pressed.

4) Confirm overlay is centered and attach, once it sticks on, removing is hard. So, do it once, do it right!

5) Repeat for other 2 diamond overlays.

6) Use blue masking tape and attach over all 3 emblems. Use a good roller or something wide and push on each overlay so it adheres properly.

7) Leave masking tape on for 15 mins and then remove.

Should look somewhat like this:
