Postwhoring I know, but the first one I made got screwed up in the "tinting" phase, I mixed up some of that clear resin for carbon fiber and added a drop of black paint to tint it. Everything was going great until I had to leave it alone for 15 minutes while I grabbed lunch only to come back and find some little debris landed inside. So anyways, that one is trash.
But it was really slow today at work, and I managed to have time to fab up this little peice of sweetness. (other emblems are there for dramatic effect.)
This time it really is all aluminum, and believe me that little tiny star in the middle was a PITA. I think the black in the middle will look better than the original brushed aluminum idea I went with, I tell you it was just too bright on there. But yeah, all hand made, hand polished, right here in the good ol' USA
The panelbond I used to adhere it takes a good 24hrs to fully dry, so it'll have to wait till tomorrow to go on.

On the other hand....you have other fingers.

I'd probably use a bondo spreader or something of like material. Get a corner lifted, and just work the spreader through until its off I'd say.
So I slapped it on today, fits better than the oem one somehow. I know its not anything spectacular, but it wasn't intended to be, just wanted it to look nice and solid and match the color scheme of my car. I intend to fix those cracks in the bumper in a couple weeks, just need to finish my new trunk setup first.
Here's some not so great pics using my phone, left my camera with better pics at the shop.

Cute, yhea... . Reading comprehension > You.
Can't expect much brightness and maturity from a Marielito anyways.

Looks good. It is great to be able to say you did something custom. Sometimes it is the small details that makes a big difference.
FORGET GIRLS GONE WILD WE HAVE GOVERNMENT SPENDING GONE WILD!
i'm not even gonna argue, but i sure as hell dont know where you got marielito from. peruvian/chilean with scottish ancestry is far from marielito. but if you really want to have a who's dick is bigger contest, i guarantee you i will be far superior than you in life. i dont like to brag or bloat, but its true, so please, dont try to insult me with your "brightness and maturity" bull@!#$.

Thanks. It ripped off pretty easy once a corner was lifted like you said. I've seen your car around town too once, it looks really nice!
