Thank you sir!

Had some time today to do a video to show the vinyl a year later in Canada (after winter)

When you removed your emblems to be painted how did you reapply them?

Zelfiris

The F emblems had new 3M double sided tape.

For the smaller letters (L E X U S) and the L emblem, the body shop used thinner strips of 3M double sided tapes

So, they just stenciled the around the emblem and cut the tape out?

Zelfiris

Yes that's right and I don't see the tape or anything

If you plan on debadging your ISF, just a head's up - On the trunk is a hole on the L letter (L E X U S)

Yeah, that is why I plan to paint the emblems. I don't want to pay to have the holes welded up. Looks great BTW. Thanks for the info.

Zelfiris

You're welcome!

Also, just my opinion. Its a lot more cost effective to paint yourself. My body shop did a great job but I see chipping around the edges for the lettering and honestly, if I had done it myself, I just need to respray down the road.

Just resurrecting this relic thread since I believe Zelfiris has moved on, and I am the new owner. Shot them a P.M. to try to confirm, but last activity was 2 months before I even test drove it from a dealer.

The Vinyl is gone, and the rep spoiler was trashed during removal (along with some minor chips/dings to the trunk lid in that area. The gloss black name badges were also trashed, finally replaced them, but had to get generic 'chrome' ones, scratch em up, and plastidip. It turned out better than I was expecting. Finally figured out how to get hardware safely lodged into the ABS base plate of the replacement lip spoiler, but the weather cooled off too much to trust proper adhesion, fortunately a heat wave is en route. Unfortunately I am working pretty much all the way through, hopefully have enough time, but I doubt I'll revisit until next weekend.

Took apart the intake to clean the cone filter, MAF, intake pipe and throttle body today, and haven't been able to get thoughts of the VLand update tail lights out of my head. Would need to be smoked to align with the gloss black/carbon theme. Will get pictures sometime, haven't bothered with picture uploading in ages, so will have to familiarize myself all over again.
