A-SPEC gets "A" new home
I wasn't happy with the placement of the a-spec badge I put on and the "A" emblem was a pain to clean between the crevices. Took 30 minutes last night and I am happy with the results. Let me know what you guys think.

I like how you can see the A emblem reflecting on the spoiler lol

Looks kinda out of place to me but not bad.

The 'A' on the spoiler isnt a refection, its actually molded into the spoiler itself.

Not feelin the aspec badget there. I think that spot is reserved for the 'A' or just shave everything.

I think it looks cool, but I probably wouldn't do it. I still have my aspec badge sitting in my closet not sure what to do with it.

Also, just curious why you blocked out your plate in one pic but not the other

No really, why would he do that if he posted a thread about loving it.
