Did not remove the emblems. I literally squared off an area with painters tape and news paper and sprayed multiple coats on. I was worried because it sprays on like it's paint and my thought was "F**K I Just sprayed a part of my paint black" but after it dries when you take the tape and news paper off the plastic that was created will peel off. Leaving it around the emblems. IT WAS AMAZING to me haha. Very simple. Sorry if I wanted I just typed didn't make sense. PM me if you have any questions or AIM me (Classic)

Now you will need to replace your license plate frame in order for it to match your emblems

Emblems look good that is my next thing to do. When you get ready to do your taillights you should pull the lens off and smoke them from the inside. I know people dont like using that "DHT" smoke out spray because it fades unless you put a couple of coats of clear on them, but if you do like I did and smoke them from the inside it wont fade or scratch off.

The reason they appear darker than they reall are is because I also blacked out all the chrome inside of the housing only because I have L.E.D's. I only used two coats of the tint spray because I did not want them to dark.


This is my blinker with 20% window tint over it, it looks way darker in this pic because it is in the shade but normally you can still see in it a lil bit
