Working with Mike on an etune for my car, he is very helpful and actually cares about your car and it running right. Can't wait to keep moving forward with it.

Love the way this is coming! I don't know how I feel about the square tips they look out of place
-
Yeah peeling was easy for me! I would rather not have to put it in any chemical because then you have to worry about if it will cause the paint to lift later
-
Well I made the mistake and didn't remove the chrome and it caused the paint to crack and chip off. Also i glass beaded the whole thing to bring it down to bare plastic because whatever they coat these grills with started to lift after my father painted it. So this time around i removed the chrome and stripped the whole thing down. I also set it back a little. Now i just need to fix it in place and start the fun of sanding and some filler/bondo.

I feel like my perrin cbe is a tad bit quieter than my FMS that I had on
Actually it got louder..
-
Here's my new to me Perrin cbe! can't wait to put it on
-
What is one worth? Around 500?
-
That could be what causes the extra raspiness
-
Do you have a downpipe too? If so catted or catless
-
Anyone that has Perrin cbe how is it? I can pick one up locally that is pretty clean! I am thinking about it because I have the FMS cbe but it touches the heat shields and drones a lot on highway
-
No problem! And yeah the top was a little harder to peel

It's an 08 Impreza emblem cost $45

Peeling it was very easy.. Now i just have to wait for a new crown vic grille to come in this one had so much extra from the mold it looked terrible.
-
im actually starting to redo mine i pulled it all apart. Primer and paint were not bonding to the chrome so i removed it like above. Going to set it back in so it has a little lip this time should be a little easier the second time around.
-
I would consider removing the chrome! Mine cracked a little where the chrome is.. I think I'm going to make another but I'm taking the chrome off no matter how long it takes
-
I may have to make another when I was doing mine my father told me to set it back in that area so there was a lip but I didn't listen and I wish I did!
-
thats what i was going to do at first!
-
Finally got the emblem now just waiting for it to dry to put on my car!
-
-
Alright and if you come by where you bought yours let me know I'm still looking
-
Are all the 08-14 emblems the same?
-
Good job man, glad I could help ya out. Looks great. I was able to find emblems when I was looking for them for about $44 I think. I was just looking through my favorites but I'm not exactly sure off hand where I bought them. Just to give you a baseline anyways so you don't spend much more than that. Also make sure it's an '08-'14 emblem.
Alright thanks a lot
-
Got it all sanded and had my father shoot it with some black today! I love the way it came out now i just need to get an emblem and it will be on!
And yes this took me a lot longer than i thought but totally worth it. I wasn't working on it all the time which is what took me forever. Thanks again for the walk through.
