There were no holes under the XLT part of the emblem.

Be careful cause occasionally mine got condensation on the rings lol but I did my whole vents. I just took it all off though cause I'm thinking of doing the colors different now

Looks sharp, Im just hoping to break up the all black interior with silver vent rings, will retry....after peeling and getting another can....

Is there anything different I should try with the Chameleon color vs the standard Dip colors? Was going for the silver pop, so it was chameleon or just regular gunmetal...

Thank you. I'm thinking about doing the rings pink or purple if i can find a purple plastidip. I'll have red less all over so idk how it'd look honestly

As for the chameleon idk honestly I haven't tried that yet
I know fonzy has plenty of videos on YouTube and probably even some on there Facebook page. Or try their website dipyourcar.com
