    Need Help

    Spend all day detailing to my standards. The car looks great just some small changes I think would make it look aggressive looking. First off really want to swapp out The Rings to black and the R8 in back to black. Has anyone done this, was it difficult to do and where did you get them at.
    Second with all the Silver Blades for sale on here, think I will surpass that idea and look into wrapping them in matt carbon. Has anyone done this any thoughts or help would be great.

    Thanks

    A little diligent search on R8Talk should yield all the info you need on these topics. Perhaps someone else will jump in here with some links to threads?

    Re: Need Help

    R8nJax, I'm getting new badges and having them painted black. I was going to powdercoat the exhaust tips too (for about $80), but decided to hold off for now, since the back end has to come off for that.
    The same place that would have powdercoated the exhaust tips, will be painting the new badges (for about $70). I'm sure you have such places in Florida....

    Here's the source I used to get them, and they were even discounted 30%:

    Good luck.

    Hey Thanks TheSubtleCount!
    Did you know the front and back emblems are the same size. The front is 7" the back is little bigger at 8" they are plastic so you can't powdercoat. That website is cool.
    Thanks

    R8nJax, yes, the front and back are different sizes. That website is challenging to work with, but you can find the front, and back badges on different screens.

    The powder coating shop I went to also does painting on various materials. I only suggested that as a starting point, since your local shops might point you to one that does painting on plastic as well.

    Good luck.
