Default Tinted emblems

I saw a car earlier today and its emblem were all tinted or smoked. I know some members here on the board simply painted their emblems, but I was wondering does lexus sell tinted emblems or any other vendors. The color looked more like a dark titanium look to them. Thanks!

If you have $200.00, you can get the Black Pearl. If not, paint them. For your enjoyment.

i am having mine black Zinc Plated at a plating shop as i write this. The black chrome plating is really tough to do apparently, and black zinc can come out with the same result... you just have to clearcoat it once you get it plated. its going to cost me about $100, but will be well worth it.

What does Sewell do with the ones you return? Wouldn't think there would be much of a market for them, unless they use them for collision repair, in which case they aren't using NEW parts for the repair.
