Hey all, I am not sure if the following cosmetic mods will be long term... I don't want to take away from the Red Badge heritage... but I had some x-mas money burning in my pocket and I have not seen any CTR's with JDM Blue Emblems or blue skirt striping. It was relatively easy to do an an hour or two. A heat gun and patience are necessary to not break the original Red badges when you take them off. The hardest part was removing the left over 3M goop with goo gone from the original red emblem.

Looks awesome good job! I hate to be that guy and bust your balls.. but isn't the "Type R" part you painted on crooked? Or is it just me? The right hand side looks slanted down.
Lol yep. It’s a wee bit slanted. I noticed it the second I removed the stencil! Goofy me was trying to get the bottom of the T at 1.5 bars and the bottom of the R at .5 bar. Should’ve just focused my attention at keeping the TYPE at 1.5 bars.:doh: I seriously contemplated trying to remove it and paint it again but pretty sure I would really mess it up. Yeah, it’s a wee bit slanted, but I’m really happy with how it turned out! When you’re standing there looking at it on the car, it’s not noticeable. Lol it’s when you take direct pics of the IC when you can notice it!

Ughhh I hate when I do that, get too caught up doing it that I don't pay attention to the details.

It looks good though! Leave it as is, pretty sure you'll mess it up trying to fix it. You gave me the thought of doing this to mine now lol. :stirthepot:
