Default Silver or Gold Emblems

O.k. so originally my car came with gold emblems, but for a "steal on eBay" I bought silver ones. My girlfriend says to keep the gold, I think the silver would look better.

Whata you guy's and gals think?

oh its a Black 97' SC300

well with black, either would look good, but if you still have gold exhaust tips and antenna mount then I would stick with gold.

See that's the messed up part, it has silver exhaust tips and the antenna mount is gold...but the emblems on the wheels are silver(Chrome)..

nice combo there
j/k...i would personally try to get rid of all the gold and go with silver. im pretty sure that you could remove the antenna mount and polish it by hand to remove the gold.

I just replaced my power antenna (gotta turn em off at the car wash) the nut/mount is gold inside and out......I have all the paperwork for my car, and it looks like the original owner paid to have the emblems plated.

In that case you could go either way...I have chrome wheels and polished stainless exhaust (those two go real well together) and I have gold emblems and antenna (pearl white sc). The gold is cool on black or white, if I had any other color then I would change out the gold.

IMO, the gold is tacky. Keep the silver all over.

I don't want my gold emblems.... Do you think black emblems would look good on silver spruce?

I would like them. I dunno, I just like to keep things simple and not draw any attention to any certain part of the car.

Contrast my friend contrast......Silver is almost at the opposite end of the color spectrum to black....awesome look....gold is too dark, and the graphite.... meh stick with silver, as for if your car was pearl white like mine, gold is good, as again it contrasts.
