Default Custom Pearl Emblems!!

Hey what’s up everyone, I just wanted to get your inputs on what you guys thought of my emblems. I was bored yesterday so I took off my old gold emblems sand blasted them, sprayed them with blue metallic paint and gave it a few layers of clear coat to give it a shine. IT only cost about $5 and it took a couple of hours of work and a few hours to dry, So it’s a great D.I.Y project for who ever wants to get rid of their gold emblems.
Anyways lemmie hear what you guys/gals think!

Thanks

Tommy

Looks good.

Nice tips you have there. Where did you get them and how much did you pay for them? Thanks.

Sup Jon, my best friend gave them to me but I remember him saying he got them from an exhaust shop in long beach CA, Sorry I know it really dosent help, but that all I know about them.

Hey shawn, one of my good friends owns a auto body shop and he gave me a roll of his 3m double sided automotive tape, I dont kno if you will be able to purchase it in normal auto-stores but I'm sure you will be able to find it somewhere.

Actually one of my friends hooked my up with the rims, they are replica rims but I am not sure of what. He just got them for me for an extremely good price and so I couldn't resist. I'm sure ill get flamed on by everyone who thinks because I have a Lex I should put expensive *** brand name rims on my car, but with my budget as a student I just settled for these rims.

Here's a pic of the rims
