Default Emblem color poll

I dunno if I want chrome or gun metal emblems on my pearl white SC400.... I think gun metal would look good with my tint and all but I plan on getting polished aluminum wheels so I dont think it would match those liek the chrome..... what do you all think?

Definetly chrome with the polished rims. The tints will still look good with the chrome emblems. I mean what would you want to do get mirror tints to match your chrome emblems?

Default Chrome... definitely

HI everybody. I'm way new to the SC and to this website. Thought I'd let you know that the chrome goes hands DOWN! The mirror-tint example was incredibly funny though..
