Default Black pearl emblems installed

kk so after plastidipping my original emblems i didn't like that flat and dull look. Kinda made the car look cheap so i went with the black pearl and now it looks legit. I used the heat gun method to remove the emblems. They came off real easy in less than couple minutes. Also used painters tape to align the letters before removing them. Here are some pictures of the black pearl

Looks good! If you can post some additional pictures, front included, that'd be great. Thanks!

Looks absolutely great, atomic; thanks for the additional pictures!

I know you got yours from a friend, atomic, but when posting, if everyone can please post where they got their emblems from, it'd be great!

thanks guys. i couldn't resist and had the car tinted today and it looks pretty good. It definitely brings the black pearl out more

Front emblem was the easiest of them all. It's held on by some sort of circlips which id like to call jesus clips. But once you can squeeze a thin-enough pocket screwdriver or knife between the clip and the mounting point, you can work them around and they will come off easy. After removing the clips, there's tab at the bottom of the emblem you have to push. The front took me about 5 mins.

I was trying this on my car.. those clips are a pain... did you end up just breaking the clips? they are really hard to get off..
