Default Anyone have Black Pearl Emblems?

Would like to see anybody (black is better ) with black pearl emblems. Saw a GS350 one time on the freeway with it but couldn't get a good look. I'm on the fence about doing it..trying to continue with my overall black and gunmetal theme!

I'd never pay what they seem to be available for right now.

Maybe if it was more than just the emblems and it came with replacement for all chrome trim on the car.

I agree its a bit much on a black or dark car, but on a lighter colored car it will look better, because of the contrast.

I saw a white gs430 yesterday, the guy painted ALL the chrome (door sills etc) on the car except the window sills, like a black pearl or black? Even had the grill and grill emblem painted black. It looked REALLY good. Had some nice 20" blacked out wheels too. It was inso cali, anyone know the car or owner?

looks good on a dark car.

nice project esp if you're bored with your free time.

I think these look great on a silver car.

On a black car, I would prefer a matte gray color over black pearl. It needs to be a little lighter to contrast with the paint, and matte would be awesome.

Many of the IS-F guys are doing the blk emblems.. Like the member said above matte blk the emblems to better contrast against the blk paint.. Very good mod IMO and you can DIY...
