The fact that it looks super easy to do with really no risk at all I might want to try this on my black car. Steath debadge without debadging... I wonder if I can get that stuff here in Canada though.
I'm undecided on the front emblem. Everyone else I've seen that wraps/paints the front L black ... it looks weird to me, like something is missing.
The way to go for me, for consistency, might be to do only the letters/numbers and leave the "L"s front and back chrome.

Amazon likely won't ship it to Canada, and if they do, they will probably charge practically what the can costs to do so anyway so I think I'll stick to the "ripoff" of $15 locally and give it a shot on my rear word badges at first and then decide based on how that turns out if I want to go all the way and do the front and back L as well.
I think it'll look slick as just a semi-debadge job without actually removing the word emblems. They'll still be visible but not so in your face. It's worth a try. Only problem is my car is eternally filthy recently because of all of the bad weather. I suppose I could get away with just wiping the emblems down though... as ghetto as I'll feel doing that kind of mod to a filthy car. :P
