New Wrap and 1LE Emblems

tx6g1le · 12-15-2016, 04:18 PM

Thought I'd share some cosmetic things I did recently. I clear bra'd the front of my car and decided on switching the OEM vinyl. I wish I had better weather to snap some good photos but the matte 3M didn't match the accents of the wing, splitter and mirrors. So I put on Avery Satin Black and added some ghost 1LE badges to the hood. Also Emblem Pros has some spot on badges that are fully customizable so I replaced the stock SS emblem on the bumper.

Note: The OEM vinyl contractor uses an adhesion promoter on the edges of the hod wrap. If you decide to take it off/replace it, prepare for a good amount of goo gone to strip it.

I like what you did with the 1LE emblem on the bumper. GM should have did that in the first place along with the front emblem so it matches the calipers ect.

That emblem looks cool, I gotta get one of those.

Your blade spoiler gap looks really big though, those ends need to be moved over a little.

Off topic, you know enough about the 1LE to ask, Is the Blade Spoiler on the 1LE same (size, pattern ect) as the optional GM Blade Spoiler? Its really hard to tell and i haven't got a definitive answer from anyone yet. Any info would be appreciated!

You're not the first person to say that. The end cap is molded to the contour of the fender so I'm not sure if you could move the spoiler cap without having issues with the adhesion.

You certainly can move it, I've done it, you have to be careful taking it off and marinate it for an hour with Goo gone and then cut it with fishing braid, but it will pull off, then reapply new VHB tape and put it closer. You did not need to reuse the adhesive that they use on it in the middle. Here's one I did the right way:

I like the look man! The ghost 1le badges might be on my car in the near future.

Got some far away shots showing the front end?

Nice subtle changes, I like that rear emblem a lot. Who did your clear bra?

formoutofchaos · 12-15-2016, 07:58 PM
