I had the same dilemma too when I first got the BP emblems. I was thinking of getting the chrome plated to look like the front BP emblems but I figured it would look to monotone in the front. I like the contrast the chrome brings so I left the front emblem the same. Besides, who is going to look at both the front AND the back at exactly the same time to know there is a contrast?

body paint shop..it will cost you but one of the threads is some guy that got his rims painted "black chrome". To me it looks exactly like black pearl but i'm sure if you ask them they can match it.

hope i helped!!

p.s. - how much did the emblems set you back??

If he grows out the mustache maybe he could do a combover with it for the bald part?

$200 isn't great, but not bad. Sewell & Carson list if for $269 + tax & s/h . . .

I have the black pearl emblems and I just color matched the grill to the car, I didn't get the grill matched to the emblems, I prefer this way but it's because my car is black.
