Front & Rear Emblem

Hey guys,

I got bored of my front & rear Mitsu emblem so I did this... Flat black Vinyl

Cost me $20 at a local Tint shop http://www.undergroundtinting.com/










Sorry for the cellphone pics...

Very nice. I was looking at something like this with my GG IX.

I bought the cheapo black Ebay UK badge since I was not sure how feasible painting the OEM UK badge. As you know, the Ebay badges are iffy. I like the look but I can see the corners catching and my X in the IX was glossy where the rest of letters were flat.

I want to get the diamonds black to match the UK badge. I contemplated paint vs vinyl as I was afraid vinyl would give a shady cheap look. It looks pretty good with the pictures you took. Honestly, I was leaning towards painting OEM badges but now I dont know what to do. I just want black badging...

Did you cut the diamonds or have them cut for you?

Looks good. I'm also considering doing something like this with a red trim though...

Thanks for the comments Guys!

I had it done at a Tint place the guy charged me $20 for front and back. Im super happy with the result.. I dosent look cheap at all. I considered paint as well but Rockchips are your worst enemy and if something happens to the vinyl its only $10to get a new one.. i say give it a try.. im sure you wont be dissapointed..
