Default Black Pearl Emblems on Nebula Grey F Sport?

Anyone have Black Pearl emblems on a Nebula Grey F Sport?

Contemplating same [again], but just came across this:

Not the same car, but not sure if it works with the color. :|

Thoughts?

I have a Nebula Gray as well and don't have black pearl emblems. I think it just looks too dark against the gray to the point where it might as well not be there. I like the way the stock chrome contrasts against the gray, though. I think, if anything, a debadge would be better than black pearl emblems.

Yes, as much as I'd like to like it, there's something wrong with it.

I've already debadged, but looking to do Black Pearl for the front and rear "L" emblems.

Strange that it looks good on Black paint.

Would love to see a 3IS in Nebula Grey with Black Pearl emblems...

That is black plasti-dip. There is a CL user here with a White 14 IS with Black Pearl, looks sweet. Pictures are in the picture thread.

Oh, wow, didn't realize it's plasti-dip; so not an accurate portrayal then!

Nevertheless, I can see white looking good, but unsure of grey...
