Did you use the things from grafxwerks for the emblems or what? Also how did you do it? If it is from there, and it the liquidome stuff do you have to put the clear plastic piece over that or what?

You have to take the bowtie all the way off the car to get the gold off right? Do you just use like 3M double sided tape or what?

Details, on how you get just the clear plastic off without taking the car off, thought you had to take it all the way off to get to it.

i took a hairdryer and heated the whole piece up. Took a thin blade knife and placed in between the gold bowtie and the chrome outer piece. Pryed on the gold bow tie and it came out. It work the best when it was pretty hot.
