ogradnis Posted September 10, 2006 Share Posted September 10, 2006 I'm about to paint the front and rear exterior badges red on my black '05, and I have started considering matching the badge on the steering wheel to those but I don't want to it look ricey. Any thoughts? If anyone has done it let me know if it comes off with a little heat and floss just like the front emblem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ogradnis Posted September 10, 2006 Author Share Posted September 10, 2006 Not a bad idea if the painting isn't as easy as everyone makes it out to be. Have you used any of the overlays? If so, how do they look? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagcars26 Posted September 10, 2006 Share Posted September 10, 2006 IMHO I'd leave the wheel alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

muddy02 Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 Not a bad idea if the painting isn't as easy as everyone makes it out to be. Have you used any of the overlays? If so, how do they look? check out post #40 on this page of another thread. i posted some pics of what mine looked like. i also did the rear emblem. looks pretty sweet when it shimmers in the sunlight. http://www.legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php?t=31993&page=3 if you just want a pic, here's one. http://www.legacygt.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=18431&d=1147657161 It's not about speed, it's about acceleration!

ogradnis Posted September 19, 2006 Author Share Posted September 19, 2006 I just got my Grafxwerks GT emblem in the mail today and obviously had to put it on right away. My digital camera wasn't charged so I took a pic with my cell but then that died. I'll post up a couple other better pics soon but I was so impressed I had to share. This is by far the least expensive mod I'll ever do but it looks awesome. How many hp does this emblem add? None unless it's on the outside?

ogradnis Posted September 19, 2006 Author Share Posted September 19, 2006 BTW the colors are Crome GT over Metallic Dark Red background. For $13 shipped you can't beat it. Now I have to match the front with real paint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
