Hah - yeah, I failed to read that part. It doesn't fit, but I made it work.
Black Emblems
Also guess I should post pics of said emblems on car. Im still waiting on new crests so I can paint them but those will be black with colored centers

Someone in that thread says you can get the badge for the "base" model and it will fit right in on a manual Blackwing. I haven't confirmed that with Savage though.

Well shi
Well I couldn't tell. You made it look really good and flush. Mind giving a brief description of what you had to do to get it to fit so cleanly? Appreciate it!Hah - yeah, I failed to read that part. It doesn't fit, but I made it work.

Thanks! It was really a pretty hamfisted job. I just broke all the tabs off the savage one, stuck some 3M double sided tape on the back, and stuck it to the car. But it ended up looking good. I’ll take some more pics tomorrow and send them to you.

Since I believe this color thread will expand to include Radiant Red Tintcoat...3 photos taken with overcast skies on my iPhone 8+ (high technology, I know).
My observational notes of this CT4VBW today:
My observational notes of this CT4VBW today:
- No flek / metallic.
- I DO NOT feel like this is going to present 'orangish' undertones. As comparison, Mercedes has a color called Cardinal Red Metallic and that OFTEN has orange-undertones (and obviously metallic).
- It is NOT as dark as Porsche Carmine Red...but it's an appropriate color-family comparison based on what I observed today.
- There were no IR Tintcoat cars on the lot to offer a direct comparison. Also, I have never seen IRT, and can offer no opinion on the differences.

@DinoPower .......Welcome and congrats! I think Radiant Red is very much welcomed here too. I've seen RR in person and it's very much like IR. Unless side by side, which I haven't done or seen, I don't think you could tell the difference.

@Number 215 ....pictures? Where's the pictures?
Thanks! I used Kavaca Ceramic Coated PPF. It is PPF with Ceramic coating built in over it. Been really happy with it.
