Default Black car + ThinkDesign Blue emblems = ?

Just like the title asks. Has anybody seen a black 2IS or any other black car for that matter with the ThinkDesign blue emblems installed?

I have a feeling the red tail lights will not be happy with the contrasting blue.

Pics would be awesome.

Thanks.

Thanks guys. I'm sorry I didn't link to anything; I guess I just assumed we all knew what I was talking about. Yes, those are the blue-clear emblems that I was referring to.

Your above posts would explain why I haven't been able to find anything--they must not have sold many of them.

^^^ a little?? you could almost get an F-sport exhaust when sewell had that closeout sale! In this case, Quantity over quality. You are paying for MUCH more material with the F-sport exhaust then some plastic emblems with 800 bucks! lol

I definitely understand the "too expensive" comments and where they are coming from. I'm more concerned with how it will look than how much it will cost though--though that concern is probably a factor of their high price tag.

Thanks guys. I have no doubt the blue emblems would look great on black paint. It's just the proximity to the red tails that bothers me and has given me pause on these for quite some time.
