i fixed my issue. went out and got a can of flat black spray paint and went to town on the badges. came out pretty good. just masked it off and put 3-4 coats on it.

2010_5thgen · 06-08-2010, 06:43 PM

Where's the best place to get quality pre-cut vinyl? I agree that $150 is excessive for replacements.

Yeah, a link to a preferred ebay seller or site would be helpful.

you dont want the pre cut stuff, if your just a little off it will look like crap, just get a square of it and stick it on then follow the grove around it with a blade, look in the diy area there is a post about it,

I bought a set of custom painted bow ties from Garys Customz. They match the paint on my car and he shipped them VERY quickly.

He paints the OEM bowties and does a great job. Oh yeah, btw, you get what you pay for. I think they make a big difference in the appearance of my car and I'd buy again from Gary. (In fact I am going to be buying several other items from him because he does such a great job!)

Looks nice. Beware of chipping though. I guess you can respray but the spray paint chips like a mother.

I usually agree with the "get what you pay for" statement, but in this case i'm not so sure.

If you just want to buy one and be done with it you'll pay more. But I picked up some scrap vinyl from a shop for free (they gave it to me, I didn't steal it haha)

blacked out my bowties and SS's and I think it looks awesome. Painting works really well too, and I really like the flat black BTW.

By no means do my vinyl's look like "cheap stickers" IMO you can't tell they weren't done like that in the factory

my car is on post #30

Also one of the reasons I decided agains paint. it'd take a pretty good rock smack to gouge the vinyl, but if it happens I can just peel and put on a new one and I'm brand new again.
