Default Black Emblems

I recently bought a 2003 GX. It's pearl white with the gold emblems. Besides me hating the gold emblems, the gold has come off on a lot of them so I'd like to either replace them or paint them.

I'm looking to do black and found pearl black emblems for sale but fo $300! Wondering if anyone knows anywhere I can get them for less money or I guess I'll be painting mine.

Thanks.

I'd just plastidip them, it's easy, durable and cheap.

That's not a bad idea.

No problem! I found it yesterday as I was spraying my grill.

Yeah, plasti dip is awesome. I just did my emblems the other day. Super easy. Get yourself a toothpick so you can get it out from between the letters and stuff.
