I like the black grill to man.
Xanadu, don't worry man we all have different opinions and sometimes we need the one that says "it's no good " I was about to do a taillight mod and after it was photoshopped everyone said it looked like crap, and truthfully it would have. So I am glad I asked first. Your point of view was put forward respectfully and was taken with respect.
IMO the whole black package looks great.

I have a black SC & I don't think I would like black emblems even on my color, cause it would just blend into the paint, of course that might be a what someone is after. I want to be able to see them jump off the paint color.

But then again it is different & it's what sets your car apart from someone elses.

Maybe I'll change my mind after seeing them on a black SC
Your opinion is absolutely respected. I wouldn't have used a Poll if I didn't think there might be a few who didn't like it. I hoped everyone would. Makes a person feel good to know that others have the same taste if you know what I mean.

I was going for a more blended look. I thought about buy some new Chrome emblems, but I like the Black better.

Thanks, appreciate that. The black grill does look hot though. The cool thing about the emblems is you can always keep it like that & change it again down the road for another change.

Speaking of the what' s around your car, are those chickens by the staircase in the first picture?

The emblems look really nice I did mine gunmetal a while back and I think black or gunmetal look very nice on our cars.

I like it. It looks good on your car. I don't think the mod is for me though. I think they would be lost on a black car. However, if my only other alternative were the gold emblems, I'd paint them black for sure. Nice job.
