Hi Guys!
I hope everyone is having a great weekend.
After getting through some chores, I washed the Z and then started modifying my EVO R black Z badges. The badges look great but came with a cheesy fake carbon fiber backing plate that are necessary to hide the mounting alignment nubs used for the stock badges.
Here's what I did:
I peeled off the old backing plates (just cardboard) and saved them to use as templates for cutting my new ones. I then took two of those red plastic disposable plates and primed and painted them to match my car. I just finished clearing them.
After I let them "gas out" (allowing the chemicals in the lacquer paint to work their way out), I'll cover them in clear bra and then cut them from my templates. After that, it's just a matter of removing the hamburger factory badges and mounting the new ones.
Super easy to do, and they will look great.
JAR - since we have the same color car, let me know when you get your badges, and I'll make you a set.
Best wishes for a great Sunday.
Oh, BTW - GO AGGIES! WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOP!
