Ironically enough my GF happens to not care for most of my mods, but when I ask her what she thinks of the Mfest emblems she says she really likes them.. LOL. you're not the only one that likes them tho. Plenty of people on the mfest board love them. I really like them as well, but I know eventually I will stray back to CF ones.

BTW I voted for the old setup, it just looks cleaner IMHO. Car looks great

my sentiments exactly. I mean I had tons of human and intel training in counter espionage crap, but that was regarding overseas issues. I really dont care and I did it cuz theres always someone who says "hey man.. you should blurr out your plates." Like you said tho strangers see my plate all the time so to me it makes no difference hiding it online when I cant do it in real life.

Thanks for the compliments and the feedback everyone. I'm gunna go against the grain for a couple weeks and keep them on just so I can justify buying them. If for any reason I get tired of them I'll be selling them to the highest bidder later down the road.

I prefer the CF emblems, I think the CF roof spoiler would compliment the front lip and rear diffusser.

Your car looks amazing!!

any form of semi-strong doublesided 3m tape will do. Just cut it up so it adheres to most of the numbers. It wont matter if it looks ugly since no one can see the back anyways. However, If your badge is still on the car I've read that you can just go ahead and simply spray the plasti dip on the badge as is on the car. No need to take off or sand. Heres a link I found of an application done on a lexus
