Arrow Sunday afternoon project!

finally able to take the cover off the car.....sun is out, temps are good and no snow in the forecast...w00 h00!!

i had decided ahile back to removed the "rx8" badge from the trunk and put the JDM "SE3P" in its place....

the removal was relatively easy....using my hair dryer and some dental floss, it came off unimpeded...the adhesive took a little elbow grease, some meguiars detailer, a microfiber and a little bit of the hair dryer...all in all, about 10min..

i used a ruler to mark the area...if you are going to draw a line with something, make sure you test it on a hidden painted area to make sure you can get it off..
use a level if you think that helps...i didnt..

see pics below:

I think its a bit too busy with the Vertex Badge on the Left side and the brake light as well.

It would look real nice with just the SE3P badge.
