I agree - nice job. To amplify this thread and answer some questions. I am posting a few pics:
1) my stock front emblem
2) emblem blacked out
3) emblem marked for removal (if I screwed it up I needed location for moving rear emblem to front - rear has no posts)
4) emblem removed (double sided tape remains and positioning holes apparent)
5) loop removed from emblem and emblem reattached.
Nice work elbaite, when I did mine I didn't want them completely blacked out. Zip have a smoked vinyl kit which was cheap enough to try, it was a bit fiddly to get right but it turned out okay.

Nice job lebaite...I didn't remove the emblem I did it on the car.
Don't understand the infatuation with black. But hey it's your cars.
Just another side note... Nearly every mod I've done to this car can be undone in a matter of a few hours... The blacked out flags are done with Plastidip in a rattle can...and it will peel right back off whenever I get tired of it or if we sell the car and some potential buyer doesn't like it.

I looked at mine this morning when I got to work. Not a fan of the flags TBH. But then painting mine black, on my black car, black wheels, black interior... MIGHT even be too much black for me. I'd consider take'n off if it were clean and easy.
I had a red car once. Worst mistake I made with it? It was red! Seriously, I don't hate red, but it is not my thing, never has been.
Never heard of Zip, gonna check them out, see if they have any other options.

I like this one. I think CF is over-rated for the most part, it's nice, but in limited amounts, but this one would look good on black. Let's see, $10US each, shipping, import duties, taxes; should be about $40-50CAD by the time it would hit my mailbox.
