Default Who switched from chrome to black emblems?

Guys/Gals,

Thinking of switching out my chrome for the black pearl emblems. Anyone done this with a white GS? Any pics?

I switched from chrome to black pearl but it is on a silver GS




Sorry but I dont have any pics uploaded with the chrome emblems.

I think the black pearl emblems look great on light colored cars, much better than the chrome. It gives a nice contrast between the emblems and car. I think this is a great mod that doesnt cost too much.

wow Rich, car looks really nice and clean. everything flows great even the black emblems flow with the tints.

I agree, black emblems look awesome on light cars, especially silver cars. I thought about getting them when I switched to silver emblems from gold oems, but I felt my car was too dark and I like the contrast.

You can get them cheaper. I bought mine off a member here who had 3 sets and his price was quite a bit better than that

I switched to black emblems also. I got mine off of ebay for around $65. Very nice cosmetic upgrade if you ask me.
