guys dont do it seriously.

i just tried doing this myself today and it looks terrible!

sure it looks awesome from about 5 feet away. but it looks absolutely terrible! up close, cause u can see creases from the tape on the edges. its just looks very bad.

dont do the mod. i just wasted 6 bucks trying to do this, and it looks so ghetto its not even funny!

this shit was already explained. you have to take the grill off. theres even links to DIY in this thread. if you didnt read it then its your own fault

that was genius i want mine in blue might just do the same thanx!

***strutking*** · 05-07-2007, 09:47 PM

interesting, good idea though

SAE_10W30 · 05-08-2007, 12:47 PM

and what are ur thought on the longevity of tape??

it will probably start peeling after a couple of washes

NIGHTHAWKSI · 05-08-2007, 12:52 PM

^it shouldnt peel because it is held down by the emblem...i am not saying it will last forever, but it shouldnt peel off right away

blueciviccoupe · 06-10-2007, 02:22 PM

i work with 3 m vinyl all the time making decals if installed correctly it should last at least 3-5 years

***rpm824*** · 06-10-2007, 10:29 PM

It looks good from far but far from good i'll stick to the real ones...

jsp872 · 06-11-2007, 04:16 AM

personally think that looks better!! hehe

MBK · 06-11-2007, 02:37 PM

how'd you cut the tape to fit?

blueciviccoupe · 06-16-2007, 08:26 AM

i used some blue masking tape i took the emblem off and put the blue tape down then lightly put the emblem back on a traced the line. then i cut the blue tape layed it down on the vinyl then i cut the vinyl

BUMP- I got solid red reflective tape, hopefully i'll be doing this soon. But one question- How did you do the front without it getting all bumpy?

nese005 · 07-07-2007, 01:30 PM
