Lame or not?

I just bought these carbon emblem covers for the front and back Mitsu emblem. I tested them last night and they look half decent, but Im not sold on it yet. Im also looking to replace the Evo emblem with the black UK badging, but noticed that Mach V actually sell a sticker version that has a carbon fiber look.

Lame or Not?

Did you get the carbon fiber covers from ebay? If so, don't waste your time. I put some on my Mitsu emblem and after a few months the carbon fiber looks all discolored.

all that the emblem is is 3 identical triangles It would be easy to just make your own if you could get a piece of carbon fiber.

Yeah, they arent anything more than three triangular peices of carbon fiber, but I already have them, so ordering a slab of carbon isnt really an option. I just cant make up my mind whether to put them on or not

Heres an idea. double some scotch tape over and stick them to your emblem. Take a picture directly from behind. Also take a picture without the emblem and put them side by side. Also show us so we can give you some good imput.

Here's our carbon-look rear decal as mentioned above. It's affordable and easy to remove if you decide to change, but it's good quality vinyl that should last a year or two.

We don't make ones that stick on the triple-diamond logo -- we didn't think they'd stay in place for long without peeling up.

Hey Dan, I work in a sign shop. I cut a 3" red Diamond logo out of red cast vinyl and put it over the emblem. It looks great and has stayed on. I think your carbon fiber diamond stickers would be a hit. The trick is putting each of the 3 diamonds on individually.

Heres a pic of mine.

Yes, plenty in stock. I'll look into the triple-diamond, too.
