Default Shaved Emblems/Door Handles

I mentioned in another thread I had my emblems/Door handles and a molded spoiler. Here are some pics for those who are intrested.

The color on the re-paint job wasnt to my standards so the car is going in next week to be repainted. I am also adding a blue pearl coat =P

If you don't mind, what did it cost? I'm interested in shaving my hatch (emblem & wiper). Just curious as to what I should expect. I am leaving the side emblems though cuz I'm putting in LED side markers.

Looks good, Nice and clean. Have you disabled your rear wiper? If not you better remove the arm and reinstall it the correct way, because the first time you use it the way you have it now you'll be very pissed at the outcome. Its going to go down across your freashly painted liftgate and spoiler and scratch the sh|t out of them.... Just a warning

I was thinking the same thing. I also thought a good idea would be to limo black all of the windows and of course lose the side view mirrors.
