Any tips on sticking them back on? I was thinking the best way would be to just buy replacement oem emblems on ebay and paint them first so they have the original adhesive tape.

That's what I did. Or you could buy the them sheets of 3m tape and cut out the emblem.

That looks pretty sweet 1QIKPNY! good job

Thanks, did it almost two years ago too and it's still looking like the day I did it.

I'll post a few pics, I got kinda carried away with the stuff though lol First up, did the pony on the grill, then decided I wanted a GT/CS look on the stock GT bumper and did the lower air dam as well

Then I did the rear deck lid as well since I figured "hey I might as well save $60 on a blackout panel"

Front:

Rear

I have since taken the plastidip off the actual rear emblem, but left the decklid on there, I think it looks fantastic now

I like that trunk panel.

Nice job

I have my decklid similarly done...nice!

I did this today, maybe because I'm not good at this stuff it didn't work that well. Also, it is literally 109 degrees today so that might not have help either. When I was done with a few coats it looked like there was little pock marks all over it. I might just scrape it off and try it again. By the way, holy overspray batman! This stuff gets everywhere!

Did the GT emblems in CF wrap and the faux gas cap center in CF. Sorry about the shitty pictures, my camera sucks.

If this stuff works as well as everyone says, especially on paint, I've always wanted flat black stripes on my car. Shop wants $400-$700 depending on quality of vinyl I use and what the design is like. Do you guys think I'd honestly be able to do some stripes all the way down my car with no problems? Stuff comes out flat black anyway, so why not try it if it's what I wanted in the first place.

One more question, is there a way to make this stuff have a shine to it, like a clear coat or anything? Just curious.

They do make a "glossifier" and I did try it on my daughter's mustang wheels after I did them in black. It adds more of a "satin" than a gloss. The texture and physical properties of the "glossifier" is not than same as the actual plastidip black spray. The actual spray is more "rubber" like and the "glossifier" is not.

Any one try this on a STB? Thinking about doing it then painting it.

I'm gonna do 10" stripes with plasti dip soon...

I think wrap is a better route than plasti-dip, if your avoiding paint

Yeah, i just wanted to try with plasti dip before any actions. If i really like, i'll wrap it.

Here are pics! What do you think? (back light, sky is cloudy, sorry)
