Default Black Pearl Emblems?

Does anyone know if there are Black Pearl emblems for the GSF?

I'm looking for black chrome versions of the front (with radar) "L", rear "L", "GS" and the "F"s would be nice too. Haven't had much luck finding any on Ebay, Amazon, etc.

I'm not sure I like the plastidip look on Nebula Gray.

ive seen the rear but not for the front one. i have seen vinyls that cover up the chrome L on the front but nothing to replace it. plus why would you replace the front. PCS and dynamic cruise run through that don't they? so im assuming if you replace or modify that unit other than a vinyl itll screw the rest of the systems up

With the front, the less fuss, the better.. if there was an insert or overlay that could be put over it to "darken" the chrome without affecting the cruise radar, i'd be all for it. Maybe the front is as simple as that?

and if you want the black pearl GS letter you have to get this one.

This is how the black pearl looks.

No but you can use vinyl to tint it.

Will it interfere with the radar cruise/pcs/etc? I saw the links on ebay but the guy doesnt do and wont do the F badges, so color matching will be nearly impossible.

Nope. I tinted + clear vinyl in the front and radar works fine.

And finally installed my Black Pearl L on the back. Now if I can get the "GS", I'll be set.

I realize there may not be a lot of plasti dip fans here but I love the ease of use and the fact that I can peel it off if I don't like. 45 min and a $5 can
