Did this myself... wasn't hard. Just cut the vinyl a tad larger than the emblem, carefully applied it to make sure there were no bubbles, then used a sharp razor following the grove between the crome and gold parts. Good Luck!

On other thing regarding smoothing out air bubbles. Prick the air bubble with a pin and flatten the bubble, much easier than trying to work the bubble out to the edges of the vinyl.

Where do you actually get the vinyl?
I've looked online.

Just like what BEAUSBRIGGS quoted in his post , " wasn't hard. Just cut the vinyl a tad larger than the emblem, carefully applied it to make sure there were no bubbles, then used a sharp razor following the grove between the chrome and gold parts.
I took mine to a Vinyl Shop and thats how they did it ... Last edited by fee5fofum; 09-23-2009 at 08:59 PM. |
