The black badges look sweet. Black looks waay better than the chrome on your current setup.

hmm... the lic plate looks very very nice, as for the emblems... im up in the air (as a white owner), the black really stands out (for that original unique effect ) BUT~ not so sure about the L... not a mod i'd do... not too bad thou

maybe if it was a glossy black i'd like it better

Its a long story man. first i painted them gunmetal like 2 weeks ago, and they looked GREAT (up close) but didnt match the car. so to paint tem black I had to take them off the car, get some paint thinner for plastic (not strong at all) and basically scrub them for like an hour, then sand them, then primer, then mask the frame, then paint. so it took forever. Including going to Lowes, and all the problems it took me about 5 hours.

I would have stuck with the Chrome emblems on that car, but to each his own.
Definitely better license plate frame!
