Those wanting black ST badges ...

Take off your current badges and spray them put them back on better alternative to the ridiculous prices "these thieves" want for plastic POS badges ...

(see pic) fishing line cut them off - clean the residue, paint, 3m sticky double sided tape back on... I crinkled the paint to give it some difference in finish so they somewhat show up when looking -

No, that looks horrible. To each their own though, Emblem City for the win.

Why is it horrible- ? If you don’t like the crinkle just gloss them

emblem city RIP OFF $173

I guess I got ripped off then, but damn they look good! Nothing wrong with budget mods, but they will not look better than quality badging.

I guess that’s a subjective question: but $175 for two plastic pieces that prolly cost all of $10 from China to me is a tad over paid, regardless of how they look- This isn’t a Corvette

Guy posts terrible looking paint then gets pissy when someone points out it’s terrible looking paint. lol
And no, spraying them gloss won’t take away the wrinkle…that’s from the paint solvent interacting with the factory inlay.

He said he did it on purpose. To each their own I guess. I'll stick with the flat black inlays.

The paint spray did not interact with the inlay - I purposely crinkled it by glossing it before the black was dry - nobody’s pissy but you, the king of $h?t disturbers as usual

That’s called an edit…and I’ve painted a set myself. It crinkled the inner portion but not the edge…just like his. I call BS.

Wasn’t Thermal R&D the first to make an aftermarket exhaust for the ST

This is the correct answer. FWIW, I've had good luck in the past at preventing this by using clearcoat as a primer prior to base coating. That was with VHT and taillights though so you could probably use actual primer in this application.

In all honesty though, I would (and have) just get actual inlays that were cut to fit. You can get some decent ones for MUCH less than $175. Boca decals has some great stuff.

I initially tried the inlay route, but could never get it to line up correctly. In my humble opinion, just stop being cheap and pony up for either the ST emblem from Emblem City, or find someone selling the ST experience badges. Anything else just looks bad. Out Here!
