I kno. As soon as I got it on I was like "fuck" now I have to paint the intake.
THat seems like alot more work though?

I'm going to look into it but if you have any hints to help me along I'd appreciate it.

I just shoved an exacto blade between the emblem and the cover and cut through all the glue(don't pyr up hard or u will bend the emblem). I then masked off the area the glue had covered so I could re-apply it after the paint dried.

If anyone else wants to do this I recommend using a spray on caliper paint. It will look better and dry harder than the engine paint I used.

Oh and there was no sludge build up cause, my car's still a young buck at 81,000 km.

not thread jack, but if there are enough people interested, my company can reproduce the "16 valve" and "(toyota symbol) 2200" badges. maybe i should start a new thread for this?
