Hey guys I finally got my black badges, I had to bribe someone to get them since they're on an insane 3-month backorder right now so I'm told, I put them on myself for the most part and was able to save the rear factory wrap!! it was very time-consuming but I was able to do it you just need to be sure to mask off the area enough and don't get the wrap too hot with a heat gun, I recommend using fishing line something very strong, and act more like a surgeon, not a butcher, you can also use an eraser wheel on the paint to get the adhesive off and it won't affect the wrap as long as you get the area damp beforehand. but the most important part is not to get the wrap too hot with the heat gun just heat up the badges enough to get a corner up and get the fishing line under there, have someone with a plastic pry tool to hold up the badge and heat under it and keep going! Surprisingly there is no wrap at all under the letters so don't worry about pealing the wrap-up!! I had to do it this way because if I took it to the dealer they would have to charge 200 bucks to replace the wrap so I thought I might give it a try and it worked!!! here's the finished product, just still waiting on the front light-up emblem lol
PS, Does anyone know if they make a black AEV badge or what i should do? I contemplated painting it but its all individual little emblems and I'm not sure if I can get new adhesive on there that precise to the little letters.
