Looks good, have you thought about chopping the badge out, seen this on a few cars so did it to mine:

PS: Black scoobs rule!

I did the pinstrpe to mine (on the outer edge) last year, but it looked pants so it came off after 10mins.

Yours on the inner lip does look good though

how far up have you gone? have you done the upper bit too? (cant see in the pics)

Is it cause your car is black pmsl at your number plate !...

You need destickered fogs, detango, debadged and colour matched grille, to make it work ...

But even then, personal preference would be to take it off

Lol I did a bit of ghetto photo shop on "paint" last night and it does look good with all the bits removed and just the pin stripe but it would be easier just to take The tape off

You don't need to, use a hairdryer, it's a bit slower and you won't be crapping yourself about leaving them in or too long!!

Lights -Hair dryer will take forever, sticken in the oven dude, 90 degrees for 10 mins and they come apart no problem and do not melt or go soft.

It is easier to do with a 2 people with a flat head screwdriver or 2


Grill - bit harder as when you cut the badge you have to be very careful not cut the top or the bottom plastic, not the end of the world if you do,a bit of fibreglass and filler does the job .

P.S I do like the stripe miite give it a go
