To Start I know I'm in the wrong section but it wouldn't let me post in the actual DIY section becase it said i didn't have enough "permission" ***. But here it is anyways, enjoy!
The most important steps you can follow while doing this DIY is not only taking your time but have patience and don't rush things.
Total hands on time: 30 mins
Wait Time: 1 hr and 10 mins
Materials you need include:
-Clear silicone adhesive: I purchased mine from Wal-Mart in the automotive section
-Goo Gone: also purchased from Wal-Mart I got the extreme but either will work.
-Rubbing Alcohol
-2 clean rags
-Hairdryer (*only if you have to remove and re-apply)
(*Only for those trying to re-do the process not for actual first time installation)
For clean removal of your emblem start from one lifted edge and work the air from the hairdryer in underneath it. It should slowly begin to lift off and eventually just come right off with no effort.
Next try and peel away as much silicone as possible then begin to apply goo gone only enough to remove what can't be pulled off by hand, because I don’t know how it will affect the color of the surrounding trim.
(*START HERE FOR FIRST TIME INSTALLALATION)
Prep the area by cleaning with the rubbing alcohol, I used cu-tips but any type of cloth or cotton ball will work.
After it has dried thoroughly apply the clear silicone adhesive, very little on the H itself, just for the fact it will be touching the overlay first, and distribute an even layer around the H inside the existing chrome rim(*DON'T OVERDO IT OR ELSE IT'S GONNA BE A STICKY MESS*). Allow the adhesive to sit, I waited 5minutes but you could wait as little as 2 mins if you’re really strapped for time. Doing this will ensure a perfect factory placement.
After the silicone has set position the emblem so that the existing chrome outline can be seen all the way around the emblem. Finally, let it sit for at least an hr and come back to it with a damp cloth and clean the area.
(Note: If too much silicone was used and it is clearly coming out around the edges of the emblem use goo gone with a q-tip to ensure detailed removal, and then clean.)
Hopefully this DIY has provided you with the tools to apply your new or existing Grafixpressions overlay to factory standards
