got my new one in the mail from FRXLT today (for free might i add ), but i dont know what colors to paint it. whos got some ideas?

so i did my last one blue w/ white and it turned out like this

 

you should do the lettering bright
green and the rest black then ship it to me

 

ship me that fx4 arm and well talk about it haha

 

lol i gotta pick mine up from my dad he said it was the only one at that yard he said he'll check for another at the one by his house and im thinking of having a friend chroming my extra pedal assembly

 

blingin ha

 

glad to see you got it, I think just having the back ground white and the rest of the lettering chrome will look cool.

 

ive tryed to to this mod and i could never get it heated good to get the plastic off , any ideas

 

blow dryer and a thin screw driver. i ****ed mine up trying to take it apart (was gonna leave the chrome in it) so thats why its blue instead of chrome lol

 

i did and i ***ed mine up so so i stoped

 

I actually tried to get mine apart today but didn't have the proper tools and didn't want to f it up so im going to wait until tomorrow when I can run into work and grab a heat gun and my mini pick tools. I am going to paint the background black instead of blue to match the center caps on my alcoas. I was going to paint it body color b/c I had an extra quart mixed when my fender was painted, But i think black will look better.

 

red lettering, black background.

 

just do it Red!

 

wtf would i do with a red emblem haha

 

be cool like this guy! lol

 

Zebra stripes!

 

this guy has a white emblem, wich is cooler than red hah

 

lol do white with chrome letters it'll match your grill and bumpers

 

always wondered that to. i tried one day and it seems like the plastic piece you guys can take out on mine is almost a rubber or gel like. when i heat it up i can push a screw driver right through it. i duno if the years make a difference on emblems but mines an 05

but for colors i would say black letters on white background.

 

hrm thats a good idea, if i can stop myself from ripping that chrome out again

 

I did mine in red and white, it looks pretty good, and I had the same problem with the chrome not wanting to stay in there

 

What did you do wrong for the chrome to come out? and how do you plan on keeping it from doing the same thing? might help me out when i do mine

 

if you dont heat it enough, the chrome wont seperate from the adhesive on the back of the plastc, and when you pry the plastic part out itll pull the chrome.

ill just have to evenly heat it this time and be more careful

 

^^ thanks! i am going to try and heat it from the back of the plastic, should heat more evenly and take heat better than the soft clear part. I'll post some pics when i finish it and let you know how mine works out.
