Now that's what I'm talking about...BEAUTIFUL!!!

Is that black or kinda of a dark charcoal color?

How about the stripes?

I dig that non emblem look.

Looks awesome!

What made you go for non emblems?

Looks like you found the answer you were looking for. In the future or for everyone else, you can purchase 3M VHB tape. It is the double coated foam tape used to bond on all decals/letters etc. If you purchase an emblem with the studs on the back to be inserted in a fender hole, just grind them down, apply this tape to the backand use a blade to cut off the excess material.

If you want to do magnetic, you can use a 3M thin double coated tape, such as 9672LE and apply it on the back of a magnet and go through the same steps of applying it on an emblem.

To remove the VHB above, fishing line will work.

I would go the no emblem route like tcrote5516 did and minimal chrome trim. Body color gives the car that cleaner look. I would get rid of my emblems if I had to do my car over again.
