Quick Picture

Just a quick pic after getting a tint and giving it a wash and some test editing in Lightroom.

I would be so down but I didn't get the classes I needed and I'm going for the honors program next semester so it resulted in me taking this semester off and getting a job to gain some experience which I think will help me adapt to college life better, you know more independence and what not, responsibilities. So I won't be around pierce too often unless I'm picking up my sibling or getting some papers from there you might see me but definitely next semester we should meet up!

Thanks that's what I was hoping it would look like lol ohhh I've seen your car on the forum and was wondering how you did your 335 badge black? A lot I've seen had it spray painted, plastidipped, etc. but it doesn't last. I've been asking around haha different methods.

here you go, followed this diy

http://www.1addicts.com/forums/showthread.php?t=228862

buy the replacements, don't plastidip. Mine look pristine still and the adhesive is still holding strong.

I bought the gloss black shadow emblems from the vendor on here jlevisw, who is now svc concepts I think. Any vendor will carry the gloss or matte emblems. I'm not sure if matte or gloss would look better on your car. Both will be hard to see. I'd get gloss black I guess, unless my car was gloss black already, in which case I'd get matte black

Okey great! I'm going to go with gloss, it's more visible. My car is Sparkling Graphite and I believe yours is space gray? not sure but they're close I'm sure they will be visible. Thanks for your help!

Yup its Space Gray, sometimes I wish it was your color! And I think gloss black is a good call on your car. For 20 bucks its a cool little mod.
