Default Easy way to change the STi Emblem!

Are you tired of having the pink Sti emblem or the chrome one? If you want to switch from the pink to chrome or chrome to pink then take a can of compressed air, turn it up-side down and freeze the emblem. Once its frozen gently pull the emblem off which will leave the 3m tape on the car un-damaged, then clean the area. Next take a heat gun or hair dryer and heat up the 3m tape to the point its sticky again then align the new emblem on the tape and press it firmly. If needed add some plastic glue to the tape. Finished product will be dead on and not slanted. Shouldn't take more than 20 minutes to switch them.

This is the same directions as used to gett the big green piece of plastic off the first xbox with out removing the 3m tape, then do this because the green piece is actually painted green, once removed you can take the paint off and have a clear xbox jewel on top.
