No, I'm just not a fan of chrome so much. Also, this was a super cheap mod. $6 and some change to do this. Super easy and not permanent.

No, the door handles will be done professionally. That's one of those "high traffic" type of part that'll need some real quality behind it.

i think having the emblems on a mostly stock car retains a nice level of detail, and they look good, i painted mine before, they didnt look as good.
when you have a crazy modded car, then shaving emblems is cool imo.

my handles are dipped, but not the whole thing. i did just the stationary part of the handle. people that seen them in person love them, people on the forum or just seen them in pictures tell me to do the whole thing.

There in no screw, just double sided tape so heat gun and fishing line will work.

Actually, there's no need to remove any emblem to plastidip them. That's the beauty of Plastidip.
Here's a how to on Club Lexus. I followed these exactly. It's very easy.

Has anyone ever tried, or thought of trying, blacking out only the ring portion of the emblem?
Sort of like this:
I'd be curious to see it done.
