I think it would look hot with all the black chrome items. Like 10th anniversary Aristo headlights, black chrome trunk bar and handles, and emblems. Oh and wheels too.

Well the Grill does not come with an emblem, so I ordered the black pearl emblems as well. Pics are coming fast!

What I did was spray Goo Gone all around the emblems. I used a "Twisty-Tie" to get them off, b/c its shaped like a saw. Took me 10 minutes.

Actually a better way to do that is to use some fishing line. It's much thinner so theres less chance of scratching up the paint, and it's also pretty strong. I just debadged my car today. Took about 1 minute to cut clean through the badges.

Yes sir, that is another effective way to do it. I debadged my GS 400 before.
