I think it looks awesome! I'd be so impressed if my gf drove this car... she doesn't even care about cars, though. :-(

heat up the emblems with a hairdryer or hot air gun. use dental floss to cut through the the glue on the back. sand the emblems with 600ish grit sandpaper. n then paint with a matte black spray. krylon for plastics is a good paint for this. i did like 5 coats haha. n then get some performance 3M double stick tape and cut the tape to hide behind the emblems. n slap those emblems back on! ohh btw make sure all the old glue is off the car and the emblems before u stick the 3M tape on. for the grill i just taped and put newspapers all around the grill and painted it just like that. make sure u sand first!

Took the words right out of my mouth, +1 . Or if your lazy take it to the shop. Probably cost you around 100-150$ though.

I'm really liking your IS-C, wishing I could one day replace my sedan with one as well

looking good i agree with others black out your emblems and a simple drop would add a lot more to it... What part of Cali you in?
