Default Emblems
So I've had my 430 for about 6 weeks now and I have been really happy with it, except for the horrible gold emblems on a black car with chrome.....great idea right

So I finally decided on a color to paint them cus I wasn't down with the $200 for new ones in the onyx. Well see how House of Kolor treats them Ill keep y'all updated with pics.

Sanded but not preped yet
