Thanks for the offer I appriciate it. But I just bought some "industrial" strength epoxy at Home Depot. I know its not as good as yours but hopefully it will do, becuase Im glueing it tomorrow. You got the red VXR right? Post pics please. Cant wait to see what it will look like. Thanks.

Oh man!!! I just got the V and the X on before it set up, I had to scrape off the stuff on the R since it was curing in place as I applied it. Damn, I forgot how fast it sets up. Just remember to clean the heck out of the surface of both the letters and the grill. I traced the letters where I was putting them on, then roughed up the area with the dremel sanding drum, then cleaned them meticulously, and applied the letters. I found a plastic scraper and some alcohol (the rubbing kind) work very well to get the 3M tape off the backs of the letters. It's curing right now, and I'm at work, but I'll try to get pics tonight.

Here's pics. The R looks a little messy up close, but I haven't had a chance to chisel off the excess epoxy. From any distance greater than a few inches it is totally invisible.

That looks great. I am going to try to do mine tomorrow. I thinking about leaving the R off mine, but I am not sure.

I really thought about ditching the R too, but all three just fit in there so well, I tried it with just the VX, but to me it looked kind of empty, may be just me though. The R can just stand for so many things too, Rally, Race, VX'er, etc.

Done did it today. I kept the "R" and love it. The "VX" by itself just looked to empty.

Re-opening this little conversation,

My company hired a new guy and I am the lucky one to train him. We sit down at my desk and he notices my desktop and says, "Is that your Isuzu out front?" I am kind of shocked at first thinking, wow most people have to ask what it is since I have outside Isuzu logos off. He then says "I have never seen one of those before, we were checking it out this morning wondering what it was and then I saw the Isuzu on your steering wheel."

DOH!!! I need to cover up that sucker!!!

Any Ideas? I was just gonna order another emblem of some sort and stick it on there, but not so sure now. Looking for something subtle.
