Default License Plate Cover Re-paint

Well I've had the cover on for about two years now and the rust was getting to me. It was bubbling the paint in the lower corners and when I took it off the paint on the backside just fell off. So I stripped it down, smoothed it out, painted and took the badge off my trunk and stuck it on there.

Here's a before pic...


And picture of just a little bit ago...



Don't know if I like the raised emblem letters on the license plate cover, might be too 'blingy' for my taste. What do you think?

I like it, and the joy is if you start to hate it, it's not really a de-badging, just a different cover that you need :P

And then you can sell that cover to someone who would want it haha
