Front and rear bowties, I want em black, how?

Front and rear bowties, I want em black, how?

I see people using vinyl or something with a heat gun to get it done, others i see people completely taking out the stock and replacing it.

What do you guys do? Any videos you guys can show me or some easy installation?

I got the Carbon Fiber Vinyl that was super easy to apply and no heat gun was necessary.

I got mine from MnP Customs.

For $10, go to a auto store and pick up a roll of Trimbrite decal vinyl and apply it yourself with a heat gun then trim the edges with a razor.

No worrying about if you're doing it right since you'll have at least a foot of the stuff to work with and because you're molding it to the emblems yourself, it'll be perfect.

I bought the aluminum inserts from elite engineering used a heat gun it took a whopping total of about 15 minutes and replaced the plastic gold inserts with the black aluminum ones. Totally worth the money.
