Plastidipped the side 86 emblems red. Still trying to decide if I like them. Thoughts??

You should take a picture of the badge up close.

My vote is NOOOOOOOO.

It's your car so do whatever you like. I've never been a big fan of painted badges though.

If you really want to add some flare to your side badges (and if you're good with paint) Take some red caliper paint and paint them like the JDM badges.

I don't mind it one bit. Don't stop there though. Just go crazy with it. You have your whole life ahead of you. Turn it into the riciest car you can imagine, if that's what you really want. Imagine the memories that people have of times in the 90s when they riced out their own piece-of-junk with fake hood scoops, large ass wings, neon light kits, horrid paint jobs, and a number of other stupid things to top it all off. Now I'm sure they regret some of what they did, but it was still, probably, just about the best memory they hold today.

And if you decide you don't like this approach, you can always buy and install a new side-emblem from Ft-86 Speedfactory for $35, no biggie.

Nope, sorry.

Not shiny enough for me. The original chrome does it for me.

I think that is my subconscious dislike for it as well actually.
It just looks so... plastic and toy like.
Oh wait I got it!
