Wait ... You did your emblems while on the car? Seems all I have read people are removing them. Clearly I have never done either before but I love the black emblems. Maybe give me a little more insight to how you did them? Please and thank you. And ya... Not so sure about that gas door hmmm.

Don't get me wrong, the tinted tails look good, but they are a safety issue.
