Freshly painted parts

finished painting the rear lip and two trunk logos yesterday. I let it dry overnight and installed it today

I still have to put one of the logos on the trunk and Im deciding weather I should put one on the front grill.. What do you think?
(idk what that smudge is on my camera****)

seems like a waste to put one on the front - won't be able to see it at all...

Need to see a shot of the full car to decide if i like it... but your handiwork looks good

so you are going with a black and white theme i assume - sounds cool

i recommend putting the emblem on the back, but not the front.

Thanks, and I would love to but Its an X for a reason. If I lowered it, I would rip my bumper off every time I backed down my driveway lol But I am getting matte black Rota Grids so that should look nice

Yeah, Im definitely putting it on the back. I will do it tomorrow because it takes some time to measure out the center and whatever. Im still toying with the front. I just came up with a great idea. I think Im going to cut (water jet) the logo out of sheet metal a tiny bit bigger than the stock one, color match it to the IP, attach it to the back of the logo then put that on. I think that will look really nice because it will set off the black on black instead of it blending in. And yes I really like the black and white theme. But I hate the miss matched materials and such. Im going for all matte black (except the tails and windows which I cant make matte) the last things I have to do on the exterior are matte black roof (have to take out a stupid dent first), matte black window trim, matte black rear diffuser, and new front/rear bumper or repaint both, and a front lip.. then I will continue with performance upgrades, intake, exhaust, etc..

Putting the black emblem on the black grill would look subtle, I like it.
