Words cannot describe the excellence; flat black matches very well with paint.

Very nice.. looks just like mine.. he he

BTW, what kind of tape did you use to re-stick the emblems? The double sided tape that I bought was 3m, with red backing and gray.. But they were definitely thicker than the OEM tape, and from the side you can see a gap and the tape. It's not noticeable but if you look for it you can see it.. That's the only part I don't like about mine.

I used clear 3m double sided tape with red backing. It worked very well

You will have to fill in the holes left behind and paint over it Too much work if you ask me!
