Default Mini mod!

So i know a lot of people like to black out their emblems but noticed a lot of people left the "F sport" badge white. I thought it would've looked better if the white was black instead so i did a little mini mod by painting it black! Let me know what you guys think! (I know the paint job isn't all that great but i plan on redoing it when i have more free time)

Thanks

I like it. Love the detail and accuracy as well. Are you going to do the ones on the sides as well? I ended up debadging the back myself. Would like to see the side pics if you decide to do them.

Well done, it looks awesome with the nebula gray! I thought about doing the same thing on my 3is, but ended up painting it gloss black to match my other emblems and left the lettering white. Here's a few low quality pics of how mine turned out. It looks much better in person...

Might want to check out dipyourcar.com. They should have a lot of different colors. Especially if you plan to dip your wheels.

I watched almost all of the videos and looked through the website trying to get an accurate color, but its just not there. I want to dip my S2k wheels, but wanted to first color the IS badges.

For those who dipped their badges, did you buy from dipyourcar or go somewhere local like Home Depot?
