Did the vinyl come out looking ok? I think I will go the paint/vinyl route if so..I haven't seen too much on this subject, so I appreciate your response. Thanks again.
J-Thurm, I might not have been clear on the painting of the side marker emblems. I painted the entire emblems satin black with clear coat on top of that. The emblems blend into the side of the fender and look a lot cleaner. The turn signal lights still work as normal. The emblems on the front bumper and the trunk lid look good with the red quarter pieces covering the blue sections. The vinyl was easy to use and looks good. Hope this helps you with whatever you decide to do.
