black emblem and black key hole

whatcha think?? Looks even better in person.

Also I didnt take pics, but I removed the mistu logo on the back just now too.

Looks better without it.

Did you just use painters tape and spray paint???

It looks cool, but what method did you use to do it???

It's VERY easy to pop that lock cylinder out and paint it.

Did you remove the front emblem to paint it, it did you tape around it?

That paint on your trunk needs some TLC! Too many swirl marks for such a new car.

I think your Emblems look real nice. Good job. When I had my Black WRX, I wanted to anodize the trunk key cyliner black. My dreams and ideas never came to fruition, but 'twas a novel concept.

I taped it off. Did 2 layers primer, 3 layers paint, 3 layers clear. Looks good so far.

Yeah dont mention the paint it is pretty crappy. Just havent got around to it. I actually just bought a ton of blackwax, paint glaze, clay bar, etc. Gunna give it a real good cleaning this weekend.

The trunk was REAL ez to take off. Open the trunk and a clip holds it on pop that off and your pretty much there.

Yeah I really like the look of all black cars. I really don't like chrome. Even thinking about painting the intercooler but decided against it after I did it in photoshop. Blacking out the headlights next.
