Changed the Chrome logos to Black on my AW
6 Attachment(s)
Today I decided to swap out all the Chrome logos for the carbon flash logos. The easiest were the large flags on the front and rear, and the most difficult was the corvette logo on the back end because of the delicacy . I used heat gun on low for about 5 minutes and the waxed dental floss behind it. Cleaned area with goo-be gone and then dish soap, dried it and reapplied the new logos in the taped areas to exact spot. Took a few hours but well worth it in the end! :D

Looks great! I ordered my AW with black badges and black wheels. Your wheels with the machined finish really pop!

Looks good nice job.
|
Well done. Looks great. Thanks for the pics.

Looks terrific, nice ingenuity on taping the edges to indicate the exact spot the replacements go.
Also, your machined wheels look amazing, I wish they had been available for my '14 when I purchased it. |
don't forget to re-wax/seal over all the changes, as you've stripped whatever protection you had...

|
Wow, That really looks GREAT !!!
|
In the future when I get a C7, this will be my very first mod (unless I get a 2015 or newer that has them already of course, but I haven't seen many used ones for sale up here yet that have that option, oddly enough)

I used Plasti-Dip black and glossifier. The main advantage is you don't have to remove the emblems from the car. Simply peel off the over-spray. If you haven't discovered Plasti-Dip, do a google search - the stuff is amazing.
