Finished all re-badging today. Got all
badges including
wheel caps on ebay for $40, delivered from Korea, original sealed, perfect condition.
Wheel part was the easiest: oven for 20 min, remove "H" from OEM caps, replace with wing from 17" cap. Looks great!
Trunk
badge was unexpectedly the hardest! "H" was removed quickly with fan and fishing line, but there was A LOT of glue residue left on a car; took me about 45 minutes of constant rubbing with Goo Gone, WD 40, denatured alcohol and plustic knife to remove all glue. Man, what stuff they are using now!
Front
badge: removed center posts, buffed to make it smooth and not scratchy. Didn't add any extra 3M tape. Quite a few blue painter's tapes to mark middle and correctly position front
badge.
Also removed all 4 sticky triangles from windows, some Goo gone to remove residue. Wish I can remove the other decals from windows (like my windows clean), will see if the tint guy can take it off before tint.
All in all, about 2.5-3 hrs. Will wait a few days for 3M to cure, then wash and detail. Bought a lot of Zaino staff, will see how it works.
P.S. East Coast guys! Any hurricane damage?
