      Re: paint emblem

      OMG! I love the pink emblem!!!! I ran into the problem with the front emblem on my 09 as well. I gave up for the time being until I have time to paint it on the car. Did you have many problems with the emblem being vertical while painting? I think the pink emblem on back would look awesome!! and I like the pinstripe idea as well. How exactly did you break the back emblem? (so i dont do the same lol)
      Also, How did you black out your tail lights? I want to do that to mine too.
      Again, LOVE what the pink emblem did to the look!

      Use VHT NiteShades paint. It works well, otherwise the absolute best way is tinting some clear and using an actual sprayer.

      Take that $5 Walmart emblem off. You should get a Cobalt SS badge and paint the SS pink to cover those holes. That would be cool. I have a set of 4 silver Cobalt SS badges I just haven't gotten around to putting on yet, they're relatively cheap on eBay.

      yeah i used the VHT niteshades paint too. i think i put about 5 or 6 coats on. and i didnt have any problem with the emblem being vertical and trying to paint it.
      the way i broke it was just cause i got impatient and the center part cracked and half of it snapped off. but if yourlooking to take the back one off too , just remember there are holes in the back too.

      i think i decided to go with moving the veo to the center or getting a new chevy badge and painting it pink.

      you guys think it would look good if i did put the veo center, if i painted those letters pink??

      you know the pontiac wave does not have holes in the center of the license light cover..

      straight swap and a cheap part i believe.

      As long as you lined them up correctly and put them on straight, I think it would look pretty clean with the Veo moved to the center. Of course I like my cars to be symetrical, if I have writing on one side, I want some on the other. Thats the only reason I took my lettering off, is because there was nothing on the other side. Damn OCD

      Thumbs up on the pink bow tie. You're right - looks good on the white car.
