I did this and I made mmy emblem what i call Toxic Yellow and then recoated the front with clear nail polish to give it a glossy look. It came out perfect! I used the boiling water technique and it worked better and instead of the superglue I used a bit of industrial epoxy and it didn't run or cause spots. I will caution anyone who wants to do the nailpolish on the front to do it very carefully and take your time with it or it won't be smooth. It took me a good couple of hours to get it finished perfectly and now the Ranger stands out from the crowd without being too obvious. Thanks to Casper98 for the help and techniques!

Just got done doing this, and I failed miserably. I've gone through 3 emblems. 2 of them had severe spider webbing in the plastic when i got done, and the other one broke in half. =/ I'm gonna order one more and hope this one works out. I'll try the hot water technique and upload pics if successful.
