Talking I finally made my Honda Saber look-alike grill!

Well fellas, I finally changed my logo to a Honda one on my trunk. I also used the "gutter guard" idea to make a wannabe Saber grill. It was too hard to make the Inspire grill. At least now I have somewhat of a Japanese conversion going on:

Use very little heat then remove the letters w/ d floss. You can use lighter fluid to soften the glue but BE CAREFUL!

Yes how? Please; inqiring minds want to know.

Also did you do the same on the door panels? This reminds me of the metal on the inside of the A4 which looks terrific, I think.

I bought some gutter guard at HD like the fellas her said to do. It is made of aluminum so it won't rust but I'm sure it will change color. I can't wait to get that Blaze grill though!!!
