Nah, I like it just the way it is. The smooth chrome of the emblem provides a nice contrast against the textured black background of the grille. And you're right, the black GT-7's would have looked SICK on your car!!! Keep us posted on what you get, and post pics!

Hey you got rid of my front plate! Yea, I agree that it looks much cleaner without the plate. OK if someone can point me to ultrasonic blue bumper plugs, then I'll definitely get rid of the plate. Last I checked..no one makes the plugs in that color.

I actually made several photochops of the front when I was deciding whether to paint the emblem as well. The only problem is that if I paint the front emblems, then I would also have to paint the rear emblems to match. And the problem with the rear emblems is that the "F" logo is brushed silver, which wouldn't match with black emblems.

Pix will be posted when my wheel setup comes in. Can't wait!

yap, you need the black emblem too. Paint all the emblems the same color.
