The black pearl badges on the blizzard pearl looks very sharp in my opinion! Of course I could be a bit biased since that is what I have. The stock chrome does not stand out enough with the white paint. Only certain colors lend themselves to the black pearl badges and white is one of them!

I left the OEM Chrome on my Blizzard Pearl White '05. I thought about black, but the high replacement cost and fact that everything else was matching chrome (mainly chrome piece over license plate), I decided to stick w/OEM. No emblems just looks too bare no matter what color GX you own IMO.

I like the black pearl on light color paint. it stands out but then again, i agree if there are lots of chrome on the back, then it won't look as good.

stick with OEM, if it was mine...

Wow, I guess I'm the only one here on the FORUM with GOLD emblems!! I wanted to take the poll but there was no option for GOLD.

I'm typing this post at the NY Rallye dealership, they're going to fix/replace my GOLD emblems now due to fading, yes, it was $$ more than the local guy but it's covered under the factory 50K/5Year...

Gold on Pearl White looks amazing... I'll post pics later tonight, when I get home from dealerhip...
