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)

Front Emblem DIY
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. |
