Default Questions on badges for SC400

Hey so first time posting on here!
I recently acquired a 1993 SC400 in pretty great condition and already lowered on coilovers. Currently it is black and looks like the picture. However I was thinking of changing out the wheels for the exact same brand and shape but in champagne bronze, which *almost* looks kinda gold. And thinking of changing out chrome badges for gold. I've noticed some people saying on here that the gold badges are undesirable and tacky but I think it would be a good fit. Also thinking of doing sunset chameleon tint on the windows.
All opinions welcome!


EDIT
Added a photoshop my buddy did fir reference, wheels are a little to gold but you get the idea

Not a fan of the gold emblems at all.

High gloss red is an option….

If the calipers are painted, maybe match that color (other than black unless you like that option so the emblems disappear).

Not sure if changing out the wheels is worth it but any decision you arrive at will be good….

I'd think you would be going backwards. If it looked like the bottom pic I'd want it to look like the top.
