Much better picture. Good job on the badge my friend, very good job.

Yeah, our paint changes colors in the sunlight. Mine will look yellow or bronze depending on the light, and mine is SOM.

The front badge has these two screw things that go through the front part of the grill where the badge is at. If you take it off there are like 3 or 4 holes there that the badge covers up so you will want to run a bage on the front....and, I'll get another pic from a distance up a little later. gotta go do some stuff first. And I am going to be doing the rear bowtie as well this weekend so I will show you all that one too.

Dang dude, get that far and it snaps on you. I'd flip out...lol...I also used the same kind of paint for mine as well. Plus used fine grit sand paper for extra precaution. lol.

And also, question for you guys. I have a "GM Stage WTF?" badge that just came in that I am going to put on the back where the Supercharged badge is. Now, how do you think it would look if I took the Supercharged badge and put it where the SS badge is inside the car on the dash?? Cause I think I am going to do that.

I think I will. Cause here's the beauty of double sided sticky tape....it comes off if you don't like it w/o any damage. I'll do all of this tomorrow and post up pics as soon as I can for you guys.

you guys like to make more work for yourselves? it literally took me 5 mins to tape off both bowties. then i sprayed them a glossy black and left the silver showing...didn't have to heat anything, didn't break anything and they turned out perfect.

i just went to https://www.stickercity.com/store/home.php and bought a carbon fiber sticker sheet that is 12x15" for $10 then 8.95 for shipping
