The badge is a keychain my girlfriend got me as a gift, nothing wrong with the original just thought I would share. The "eight ball" is a trash can, picked it up at the dealer, it was like $8.00 I couldn't pass it up.
Very cool idea for a key chain.

So today I plasti dipped the civic emblem on the rear, I like it better than removing it. Also added stainless steel rings to my tweeters up front.
Did you take it off to do that or did you spray with it on your car?

No you just spray it in place and peel off the excess. Google some videos. I've done my rims and badge on my Golf R. I just bought a new peelable primer that allows you to use any paint on top. Going to paint all the silver on my front end to gloss black.

How did you do the tweeters?
Paint or buy new rings?
Nice touch!

Yes just sprayed and peeled it off the paint.
I'm apparently awful at this as I tried doing just that with my Honda logo on my old Si. Plastidip was left on the edges and in the crevices of the emblem even after using a toothpick to cut along the edges and stuff, didn't look anywhere near as nice. I even ended up newpapering the entire back of the car just to be sure there was absolutely nothing hitting anywhere else. Took forever for just one logo and had to peel it off anyway. :(

I also tried doing the same to a set of wheels I had way back and it came out absolutely awful as well. I guess Plastidip just isn't my thing!

Looks great on yours!
