Dope. I like.

 

Thanks! I like it even more than I thought I would!

 

Yep, like it, especially w/ the black trunk lip, just enough there, and that larger Fuji gives it a bold presence.

 

Very nice.looks really good.what did you use to bond it with?

 

Thanks! What do think about the placement?

It was new so it had the original double sided tape. And thank you!

Perfect height.

How did you align it left to right? It looks centered to the camera, but the camera itself isn't center... is it?

Either way, looks great, and well done. Surprised that more people don't do this.

 

It does kinda look that way, the camera is more to the right, off center.

I used the OEM Fuji, measured something like 5/8" from both R&L sides and put strips of painters tape going vertical. Also used a strip of tape horizontally where the bottom of the emblem would go. This made a square "u" shape. Checked, checked, measured, and measured again to make sure my tape was square and measured the corners of the "u" to the gap in the tails (where the inner light comes to a point). Finally, once installed, measured from the R&L of the Fuju to the gap in the tails. It might be 1/8" off but figured that's as good as I'll get it.

Now my OCD self has to go re-measure! Lol

 

Looks great! What did you use to paint it and also the chrome lip on the trunk? Thinking of blacking my chrome trim as well but I have always had cars with shadow trim from factory. Thanks!

 

That is Plastidip. Very easy to work with and cheap.

 

very nice, I didn't know there was a difference in size.

 

I think you mean't inexpensive. Does that qualify as a Freudian Slip?

However, the application of dip looks flawless, so cudos on technique, if not the material.

Are you going to dip the lower section of the rear bumper now? Might as well. nudge nudge

 

You would call me out when I could have chose my words more wisely

I'm not. Might vinyl it though. You'll be happy to know I'm using vinyl for the window trim.

 

Man with the new emblem off the car I would have personally painted it black chrome or whatever else. Either way I like the new height of the emblem itself.

 

Thank you! And I hear what you are saying.... however, I wanted it to match the trunk spoiler thingy.
