My First Mod

After having the car for about 2 weeks now (one of which it's spent in my garage getting completely detailed to a better then brand new shine ). But yesterday after talking about what I wanna do to the car and saying how I want to black the badges out . Well my dad said shoot why pay someone 75 to do em we can use wide electrical tape and it will work fine (he was being sarcastic ) well before I knew it he went and grabbed the tape just to try it . Well it looked really good so I got the idea why pay someone to do it if I can get a piece of vinyl I could do it myself . So I went and bought a 3"x30" piece of gloss black vinyl (enough to do it twice in case I messed it up) and blacked out the badges for a grand total of $5

(As soon as I figure out how to upload images on here I'll add a few pics of it to the thread )

Nice! I've noticed that light will still shine through some black vinyls. Make sure yours does!

Plasti dip is super easy and if/when you change your mind just peel it off.
