But it needed more, so......I added THESE within weeks of delivery:
That brings us to the issue that required the vinyl removal.....SO removal of said badges and OEM vinyl:
...to get a fresh canvas:
After a couple days of thought I came up with an idea and ran with it....here is the process and final result:

Then completed trimming for a final look:
More pics added per PM requests:
