    I didn't want to keep the blue background around the "T" badge, so I decided to change it to suit my personal taste. At the bottom of this post is an imgur gallery link with most of the instructions. A few points:
    • Be sure you "mirror" your image so when you print it on transparency the un-printed side will be facing the elements.
    • I used Kinkos/FedEx Office to do the printing, and the colors proved fast against water. Probably any laser printer on transparency will do the same but your mileage may vary.
    • Getting the badges off is really easy to do with a credit card or similar. The instructions are in the imgur gallery.
    • I still have the original scans but frankly the front scan came out crap quality so you should probably do your own. That said, if you don't have a scanner or are just really lazy let me know and I'll upload them.
    So here's the link:

    I fully plan to rotate colors depending on mood and season. For two bucks and a couple minutes with a pair of scissors, why not?

    Who cutout the holes to the badge?

    Can you explain after taking the badge off the car what you did.
