[QUOTE="Paul C7 to C8, post: 131231, member: 3849"] Update on crossed flag underhood emblem......... having installed the emblem a couple of days ago and having a chance to stare at it every time I was in the garage, I decided that I did not like the look of the chrome acorn nuts the emblem comes with. So, I cut some machine round head screws (you can buy short ones, I just used what I had at home) and painted the heads black with automotive paint and also sprayed them with a protective clear coat. After reinstalling with my new screws I am 100% satisfied and glad I changed the stock ones out. IMO after looking at the stock chrome acorn ones for a couple of days the acorn heads looked way to big and the chrome seemed a bit out of place and they were a bit to noticeable. The new black ones are hardly noticeable as the emblem has a bit of black colored highlights in the area of the screws and it helps them to disappear. I posted this as a fyi in case anyone was thinking of buying one...... [I]huge improvement[/I] [I]and[/I] [I]it looks great[/I]. Here is a pic with the new screws... you can compare this to my prior posted pic on page 1 which shows it mounted with the 'acorn nuts' [/QUOTE]
