why? · 10-20-2010, 04:29 PM

I ordered 2 unfinished. Black one is going on the car, going to have to do something interesting with the other one, not sure yet.

Elusive 1 · 10-20-2010, 08:47 PM

This is a must have for me. Just order Thanks

just got word back that i may be getting a little extra school money. an unfinished skull and broadview mirror may hit the spot.

I know that there was concerns about the Sedan and this not being designed for it however I did a dry fitment and as you can see it appears that it will work just fine:

Just thought that I would put that out there.

I assume the holes don't match up.

Would 3M tape be a viable option?

fnkngrv · 10-23-2010, 10:32 PM

I would rock the emblem the way that it is as it fits pretty damned close however the big issue is the holes. There really is no way to cover them unless you got creative. I have a way to get creative for my custom emblems that I am working on right now however it wouldn't be viable for most. I would think that the only two realistic options would be:

1) Fill the holes, sand, paint, clear coat.
2) Create a thin backplate somehow that would cover the entire area under the emblem similar to the front.

Sorry for the grainy photos. It isn't great lighting in my garage at night and I have shaky hands as it is.

Put a piece of black vinyl behind it.

fnkngrv · 10-23-2010, 10:37 PM

^ that was what I was thinking as one of the options however I wonder if that would look cheesy.

Cosmonaut · 10-24-2010, 02:22 AM

Then do carbon fiber backing.

cali yaris · 10-24-2010, 07:53 AM

yes, it would require a backing piece, vinyl is a good idea.

The skull emblems come with double-sided tape.

I just installed my skull emblem.

The residue from the old emblem can be easily removed with isopropyl alcohol.
A quick app of some wax brought back the shine.
Then, I just pressed the new one on.
It looks great!

Excuse the dirt on my car, It needs a wash and wax. What looks like a stain is actually my reflection.

toy_toronto · 10-25-2010, 11:54 PM

Very nice. Just like how I pictured it

RedRide · 10-26-2010, 12:27 AM

I like that matt black look since you debaged the rear.

It's perfect timing for Halloween.
