Default ISO: Black pearl chrome emblems

I’m in search of a front black pearl chrome emblem. Can’t seem to find one anywhere and the current ones on eBay have a very slight tint of black chrome on it so I was disappointed with the finish. Was hoping anyone has a spare that they’re willing to let go.

Yeah, the one I had was also from eBay. You could probably get it plastidipped or get a can of paint and try to do it yourself. I am only aware of the ones being sold on eBay.

Which seller did you purchase yours from? I feel like mine had a very slight tint of black chrome. Pretty much looked like it was regular.

This seller: https://www.ebay.com/usr/theautoguy. I don't see them in his store anymore but you can reach out to him and see if he can make a custom one for you.

I purchased two of them, the gold one I still have brand new sitting in bubble wrap. Had plans of installing it before I totaled my car. Both are nice.

Looks good! I actually had mine tinted as well. I’ve used two different kind of films but I wasn’t satisfied with the outcome. Tint films either come out purple, blue, or bronze and never actually a dark gray.

the vivid smoke tint that i used is definitely a dark grey. I can take more pictures if you want to see what it looks like up close. might be an easier option than buying the smoked oem one
