My DIY Red Emblem

I turn this:

into this:

front pics:

rear pics:

click HERE to find out how to take the emblem off. once you can take the emblem off, it's pretty stright forword on how to stick the vinly on.

to anyone who looking for the red vinyl, go to those place where they make signs. they should have red color vinyl.
the point of using the "no smoking" sign is cause it's plastic, even rain gets on it will not get "soggy"

cut the plastic to the shape of emblem, stick red vinyl on. it's simple

meccjoo84 · 08-15-2004, 08:42 PM

looks good. on another note: what kind of exhaust do you have?

PhuMasterFunk · 08-15-2004, 09:02 PM

is that just vinyl? and how did u get the emblem back on

llwrdlfstyl · 08-15-2004, 11:03 PM

Nice Job. Did you pull the backing off and stick the vinyl to the car? Just making sure you did because thats what I meant for you to do. Anyway nice job and It's so cheap and easy.

Pascal · 08-15-2004, 11:09 PM

what I did is stick the red vinyl on the "No Smoking" sign, put the "A" emblem on. Cut the emblem out. Done!

PS: must you a "No Smoking" sign!!! Other sign won't work!!!

Isn't it vinyl? The white side of the vinyl peels off. The vinyl is adhesive.

Pascal · 08-15-2004, 11:49 PM

yes that's just a red vinly. the back side you can use vinly only, but since the front can't just put the vinly on, so need a little support to hold the emblem. that's why I stick the emblem on the no smoking sign first.

darkness59 · 08-17-2004, 06:19 PM

where does the "no smoking" sign come into play?

donmeca2020 · 08-17-2004, 06:29 PM

i shoulda tryed that. it would have taken less time then painting mine the other day

Logan · 08-17-2004, 07:01 PM

Very well done! looks awsome

that's for front emblem, you need to stick the vinly on something or else it won't hold tight

Logan · 08-17-2004, 08:26 PM

How long did that take and how hard was it?

Pascal · 08-17-2004, 09:18 PM

very easy, the longest I spend is take off my front bumper, which is 10 mins.

SiK LiL pLaYa · 08-17-2004, 10:13 PM

If you could kindly post up a step by step guide it would help all of out. How did you take the front emblem off? The back i'm assuming that you bought a new emblem. Please post step by step, I have been wanting a red emblem for so long but I could not find one to fit the front.

Pascal · 08-17-2004, 11:18 PM

I use the same emblem, just make sure use 3M Molding Tape to stick the emblem on

I still dont quite understand how you did this. Sorry man

Pascal · 08-17-2004, 11:46 PM

check the link I post on the first post under the pics. it teach you how to take the emblem off

SiK LiL pLaYa · 08-17-2004, 11:55 PM

I got that part down. As far as putting the vinyl goes. That is what I dont understand. Did you paste the vinyle onto the black part behind the emblem? Dont quite understand why the No Smoking sign was using. Also how did you put the red on the back emblem.

RsXpearl2002 · 08-17-2004, 11:58 PM

looks good.. how much did the exhaust run you? sorry for jackin your thread man..

but i need a new one, mine got kinda mangled in the wreck
