Laser Studio out of the UK

It took a little while for shipping, but not too bad. Be advised, the trunk badge is a little smaller than the OEM one and the front grill badge is larger than OEM. Otherwise, I'm happy with something a little differnt.

Very cool; do I see red highlights in the backing of the new ones? That's pretty slick. How'd you install them? What'd you do with the old ones? Want to get rid of'm?

Yes, if you go to the pictures above the installed ones you will see them up close. I have been wanting to do something different, but subtle. This seems to fit the bill.

The installation was like any other emblem. I used a plastic pry tool to remove the old ones and then my finger & some alcohol for the residue. Prior to removing, I used some masking tape to keep track of where the new ones needed to go. They come with backing tape so the installation took about one minute! I damaged the "S", so you don't want my old ones...but you can buy them for cheap on eBay (that's where my old ones came from).

Now I have to tackle the front grill one and it looks like I may need to remove the grill.

The eBay ones you had- are they same size as OEM or are they smaller/larger like your new current set? Thanks for the link, btw.

Same size as OEM. The trunk emblem is about $20 and seemed pretty nice. It held up for over a year with multiple car washes, etc.

How do you remove the front and rear rings? Just pry them both off? Are these new rings just double sided tape?
