Black "T" Emblems

[EerieP]

Anyone find a place that we can buy black "T" emblems? I can obviously DIY or get it wrapped, but wondering if anyone found ones that are already blacked out.

I have only seen the red sold pre-painted. You will probably need to paint it yourself or just vinyl wrap it.

what about decals? Model 3 Logo Decals (Front)
or plasti dipping the logo?

I really like the look of the decals with a bit of chrome showing on the edges, it really makes them standout. Unless of course you are going for a full blackout look and then I would just have whoever vinyls the rest do the logo as well.

They do, but the ones they sell are much much bulkier than the OEM ones. The model 3 emblems are really thin.

Yeah that's what it looked like to me. I'd be curious to see what it looks like on the vehicle though.

What's your take on it? Easy install? Pleased with results? It's kinda costly for just the front emblem badge.

its worth it to paint them. they are metal and the rear emblem is curved so i don't think anyone will offer a quality version anytime soon

a decal doesnt cover the edges.

a few coats of primer, flat black, then USC 2k clearcoat.

What did you use to restick it back into the hood and trunk after prying it off to paint?

the rear- you can remove the adhesive and its hollow underneath. use 3M double stick tape

the front- theres plastic backing giving you zero space to work with. i used E6800 industrial adhesive

Plastidip has different colors now too. =)

Will this still require to de-badge, and then rebadge?

Plasti dip? no it doesn't. Just look up some tutorials on youtube - it's very commonly used for badges.

Plasti-dip is sooooooo easy. and you can change your mind later. Just do it.

 

[davidalai]

Okay. Just did an internet search on plastidip. Might try this out for the front T emblem!
