Ok another question...

I wanted to replace my A badges with the the filled-in white ones, but my front badge is actually a part of the grille... I know this isn't totally unique or anything but I also know it isn't universal because I've seen some of your cars; you HAVE colored front badges. (You have to, i need one).

Anyway, does anyone have any suggestions on what I can do, short of getting a new grille? Would it be really tacky to just replace the back A with a white one, and leave the front A alone?

Also, does anyone have a suggestion of a normal household product that will clean the crap off of my exhaust? I have a stock exhaust, but it gets dirty like any other. Would 409 be ok?

Here are pics of my grille just so you can see what i'm talking about.





Thanks for any help...

Pop the hood and you will see 4 black big black screw things holding the grill assembly in. Take them out and pop the grill out. Then you remove 2 screws behind the "A" and then 2 screws on each side of the "A" that hold the little bar in the middle of the grill in. After thats off just clean the area behind the "A" and paint it any color you want and seal it. I believe this is how another member did this or you could just stick a white piece of vinyl behind it i guess.

No more scratches thanks to the dumbass who walked on my car and had to pay to have it repainted.

I use a metal cleanser called MAAS on my exhaust and it works great. I've also used Simichrome. With both, you just put a big dab on a cloth, work it in a little bit, then use a clean part of the cloth to buff it off. Voila! Shiny like new! You can find that stuff in any Wal-Mart or Target.

Thank you both SO MUCH...

I must be a total moron, but I would never have thought to actually change the existing badge... You're a genius.

And I was hoping someone would say that there's a proven product for the exhaust cleaning, not just like, dish soap.

You've made my Saturday... guess what I'll be doing tomorrow?
