I like it :)

taking debadging to a whole new extreme haha

nice. how did u get rid of the magna engraving?

You dont wanna know.

Started to sand a bit then use spray putty but it was taking to long so me and my father resorted to this.

and then ive just been sanding it to get it nice and smooth.

:D Hahahahhaha the Ryobi

Looks nice man show us some pics of it on!

on a similar topic, i was following a KJ Verada wagon the other day, and the chrome garnish was completely smooth?? looked very strange!

All KJ's are like that aren't they?

Interesting that you went that path to remove the lettering, I would've thought it'd be easier to bog it up and sand it smooth that way...

I wanna see more pics when it's done :)

Tried "Spray Putty" and it was doing it just not well enough.

Looks good but only problem is u can slighty feel bumps up n down over it where the letters were.

But just lookin at it, it looks sweet.

oh also... hate to be a bit of a downer, but i'm sure i've seen TH's where the magna part is just a sticker? would probably have been easier :p

but nice job though! looks very smooth, a little plain but still nice :D

Yeah after i went to all the trouble and painted it and put it back on i was driving to work and was behind one with the garnish like that.

Owell at least i can say that i did it :D

looks like a TL one now, very nice.

Nah I didn't mean spray putty, thats not designed for filling large gaps. I meant like automotive bog.

Anyway, it looks sweet :D Good work!

yep..I put a th on my tf .. i'll take a pic tonight..not quite as smooth as this though because you still have the surrounding part of the sticker still showing, same effect in the end
