hrmm debadging everything took about 5min.
the tedious part was removing all the double-sided tape from the back of the emblem, sanding down the AWD for paint, tracing out the double sided tape for the re-badge, and paint.
the paint took awhile as it needed to dry. so i'd say the whole process 3-4hrs? im impatient so i cheated and used a blow-dryer to dry the red paint quicker, but the end result of the paint quality doesn't come out as good as if you let it air-dry.

Id prefer debadged but the red emblem on your white car looks pretty nice.

Looks great. The red emblem matches the taillights and goes with the cars color. Nice mod!
