But that's exactly the point of this stuff. No harm, no foul. Either redo it or don't. Nothing lost at all. Just a few bucks and a little time and it looks really good in the time being.

looks real good!!!!!!!!

I had to take the rest off in the dark using the street light LMAO I had to be real carefull when taking off the tape since it will take the plasti dip off the chrome. I used an exacto knife to cit along the seem for it not to peel off. Since i did an awesome job taping it i only had to use the knife on certain areas.

Will take u guys at least 4 hours to complete

Agreed! Seems to me that people that spend hundreds on new emblems shouldn't be haters; There's too much of that in various "authentic / original design" threads already. Just my two cents.

I'm interested to see more results, and I'll continue to be supportive. Keep those pictures coming!

Amen. This is definitely a good and cheaper alternative. Some will like it and some won't.
