It looks really aggressive in person - it should have been on there from the get-go.

Ok, so he just put a piece of tape across the T to hold the badge in place. Then he went across peeling the plastic backing off each letter at a time?

Good info, thanks.

Duh, just noticed the install thread below

He taped across the whole badge once it was centered at the T. Think of it like a top hinge, life up the hinge, pull off the backing (leaving the letters attached to the plastic), lay the letters down, check alignment, press them down with a roller or something. Don't just tape the T or it'll get screwed up. Fortunately, the people that make the badge made it easy to align everything since the backing paper (white) is cut evenly. Good luck!

Thanks for the info, we'll see what happens.

Maybe I'll find a sign shop as well or have my buddy do it.

I had a graphics shop do it out here while I watched. He only charged $20. If I put it on there it would come out more crooked than an Arkansas redneck's teeth.

You're preaching to the choir my friend, I'm one of those Jews that is completely useless when it comes to doing things like this.

So, I'll just pay someone else to do it like you did.......$20 well spent.

I can see not a common sentiment but... I like the stealth aspect of the small evolution. I did remove the "Lancer", so now it just says evolution down in the corner. To each their own I guess. I hate waxing around any badge large or small.

This isn't a smart a question, because I have never been told this. Why do some people smear out their license plates when they post photos to the web? Last time I checked, my plate was a pretty publicly viewable item, seen by hundreds each day. What is the logic behind this?

I think its just a web privacy issue, some people believe that address/S.S. information/etc can be gained by a license plate #.

Maybe some of it can, but as you said how many people on the road get to see your plate everyday?

Its not a big deal to me as I have posted my plate many times on the net over the years.
