Sooo I was soo happy with the way my eyelids came out, I decided to paint my emblem to match the color of my car. It beats spending $300 at my local garage to have the trunk holes filled in and having the whole trunk painted!
This mod cost me 30$ to mix the paint left over from my eyelids
and 3 hours of time, well worth it. Give me feedback, please be nice~
ill post pix soon..

Okay guys , i finaly got the pix, you can all chill now.
the pix would look better if I took them in the day light, the flash kinda kills the effect.
and I also think this mod would look a lot better on a black or red car
but here you go, BE NICE!

I would have done them in low gloss black to contrast the color of the car.... Ohh wait I did do them in low gloss black... Looks hella wicked on the VR... Anyone want to see pics??

i like the flying m blacked out, but i'm not feeling the mazdaspeed black...it makes it tough to read, and therefore looks outta place. imo.

wannabe thats mainly due to using a crappy cell phone camera at a angle to the emblem, coupled with a dirty car on a dark/rainy day. When clean and viewed straight on it looks sweet in person...
