    Hi guys,

    I'm having trouble searching the forums here to see if anyone has done this...probably because its a bad idea, but I want to find out. I really like this Gen II turquoise emblem(my favorite color). I ordered one and it will be here soon. I am trying to figure out a way to swap it for the smallest OEM emblem. I'll have to upload a pic soon of how much space it leaves open since its a tad smaller than the gen III emblem.

    Maybe I'm wrong here, but isn't the turquoise colored portion just the plastic that prevents the sticky stuff from sticking to everything until you peel it off to install the emblem? Kind of like the paper strips on the back of a band-aid?

    Yeah honestly I thought that at first but then was not sure so I am taking a chance because the one I bought was listed as turquoise. Indeed, that would suck if so! Returnable though.

    I looked around cause I was also certain that's just the adhesive backing, and other pictures I've found confirms it[​IMG]

    Just. Change the emblem backing with your turquoise…

    not so obvious but I changed mine to carbon fiber.
