Yeah I think black pearl looks good - just the L emblem.

BTW, how do you get off the sticky stuff afterwards?

Zmatrix, you can try using Goo Gone on the areas where the sticky residue is left over. I used this to remove the emblems on my durango. Be sure to use this lightly and dont let it sit on the paint too long. It will probably take 3 or 4 applications and I would recommend waxing the area between each application. I did this on my durango when it was 2 days old, so depending on how old your car is and the color the area under the emblems may appear newer and more vivid color. The older the car is the more gamble there is on discoloration.

I use goo gone. If that doesnt work use alcohol, but make sure you do it quick and wax that area after. Stay away from paint thinner!

Go with Chrome.
Black makes the emblem look like it's made of cheap plastic.
