This will be a good project for my day off...

After I pop the emblem out of the plastic holding, what should I use to paint it? I want to make it red. Spray paint? I should sand it down first, right?

And after I paint it with whatever, what do I use to finish it?

And is there a specific thread that shows how to take off the front grill? Or is it just common sense. Any help is much appreciated.

once you take the front emblem off, get some sand paper or scotch scratch pads and sand it until its dull. then wash it off and let it dry. once its dry put a couple LIGHT coats of high heat engine enamel paint. It holds up the best. Let it dry and then adhere it back to the grille. You can get the paint at pep boys and its only like 5 bucks for a whole can.

You can just take a dremel and cut it off yourself.

And the black panels next to the intercooler are there for a reason.

Where did you get those white buttons to plug the holes where the license plate frame was drilled?
