Idea for fender garnish wrap
Please ignore the mediocre photoshop, but how about a wrap with an 86 logo cutout?

where would you get the flat vent piece? looking at my car it looks as if the panel itself is bubbled up in the shape of the piston emblem...

Make your own badge to give it a bit of 3D 'pop' and it will look good. Still like the boxer86 symbol though

Removing the emblem should give you a flat surface to work on. Pop it out with a heat gun and get the glue off, then wrap it in the vinyl. The only question would be how to do the 86 logo cut-out without damaging the paint.

No, the spot the emblem mounts to isn't flat. It's raised in the shape of the emblem.

Also, you guys are right, the garnish sits in a raised area so this would be a difficult mod. |
