Carbon Vinyl Emblem Plate

I installed 3M carbon fiber vinyl on the rear emblem strip today. Very please with how it makes the emblem pop out.

Let me know what you guys think?

Looks great, love that pop of contrast on the rear. Think you could take a picture a little further away, showing the entire rear?

Nice contrast between the white and the carbon fiber!

If I had any other color than Raven I'd be looking at doing this too.

Good job!

Its very easy. I believe 6 bolts and one clip from the under side of the trunk lid. You have to unbolt the key lock but do not have to remove the license plate lights.

The emblem is adhesive tape with two placement pins.

I'm not really a carbon fiber fan but that looks top. I thought it was real for a second until I reread the name of the thread.
