Finishing touches - door pins, hood badge

The pins for this JB hood badge don't quite line up properly so the badge is slightly crooked. I'll have to go back tomorrow to see if we can adjust it creatively.

I could not for the life of me focus on the logo so this will have to do.

Yeah, I think I'm doing it backwards. There isn't much more I'd do to this car so these were the last cosmetic touches I'll probably do in a long while.

Yeah, I texted him a few weeks back and he told me about that. I guess he just missed that Chevy muscle.

Dear God, I hope there is an end...okay, I've been toying with the idea of a cf shifter and steering wheel, but those can wait.

Haha, thanks man. We should revive that Instagram user thread so we can network more.

looks great. I purchased mine too from JBspeed but I had trouble installing it. I have yet to try again. I saw it on a Red BS coupe and I liked it so I thought it would be an easy mod. How did u manage to get it to fit. Also I painted the round holder black and it looks a little better.

Turns out the seal/sticker was what was crooked. Went back today and all is good.

Anyone here know if the door pins work on the faceliftes 2012 C63 coupe? I lost one of my rear pins (F me) so I can only sell two fronts. Figure a coupe owner would be my best bet.

I bought that hood badge but the 3m tape didn't hold and the metallic badge flew away. =(

I was thinking about buying it again but super gluing it down this time. Just a FYI.
