RyanK,
Did you take the badges off to paint them or leave them on and mask around them? Thanks, S.R. |

Wait... chrome effect? Is that paint for metal chrome? Because I think the metal wouldn't work for these since they're plastic (Aren't they? I haven't taken mine off yet)

Here's the front emblem DIY, for those with "Husky fingers"
http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo...eat=directlink The Emblem! ![]() My husky fingers won't fit, and my pinkies aren't long enough... ![]() ![]() First, we want to remove these 5 pins. ![]() They will start like this. ![]() Just push down the center. ![]() Pull them out. Don't lose these. ![]() Pull up the bumper cover, and look in front of the radiator, we want to pop these clips, one on each side, at 5 and 7 o'clock. ![]() The old emblem will literally pop out and land on the ground after you pop the second clip, you'll have this nice hole for your new emblem. ![]() Line up the top. ![]() And the bottom, and push in on either side, it will snap in place. ![]() Take your pins, and pop the center up through the middle. ![]() Realign your cover with the 5 holes again, and insert your pins, remember all 5. ![]() Push down the center so it's flush. ![]() Tada! Your emblem is installed! ![]() Only minor battle wounds were sustained, it's a tight fit under the bumper cover. ![]() Last edited by Darb; 04-06-2009 at 10:28 AM. |
