black chrome on black?
what kind of emblems do you guys reccomend on a black car? I currently have gold but am in the process of adding some extra stuff 
here are my thoughts on it ...
for black chrome it might be too dark and it won't match the chrome and headlights on the car (chrome trim around windows, tail lights, etc) but it's unique and the darkness of the emblems would be subtle on the car and not as flashy as normal chrome. i have blacked out headlights i could put on though.
for the silver chrome emblems, it looks really plain on a black car but is clean, matches 97+ tail lights, grill and headlights better... but not really unique.
i'm kind of leaning toward the black chrome.... for now

Black Chrome on Black in my opinion is the best combo, I am not a big fan of black chrome on anything else. The only car I saw with Black Chrome emblems before is a Black Supra MKIV, looked great.

I know this isn't an SC, but I'm partial to the black pearl badges on a black Lexus. I've got them on my GS and it's a little more unique and... evil

Platinum plating
Black "PEARL" (not chrome) pieces look the best on dark grey lexuses..that's actually what they were intended for. Black on black is more stealth but defeats the purpose in a lot of ways. Can barely see them.
The best option on a dark car...is chrome or "platinum" finish. I had my emblems finished in platinum and they aren't as shiney as the regular chrome but a flatter finish and softer..but a richer look to them.
