Default Black emblems??? Anyone do this before?

Hey guys,

I've seen a few luxury cars (lexus, etc.) with flat black emblems. I thought they looked pretty cool, and I was wondering if anyone's done this to their car.

i've done it to my black teg. makes it look like nothing's there from a distance, giving it that "shaved" look.

take your chrome emblems and spray paint them flat black....its a very nice touch, well, i guess it depends on your car color. I would not do it on a dark colored car.

Thank God you gave them a heads up about your tailight or else the flame is coming fast.. BTW, I just painted my H emblem with Semi gloss black and it really matched well with my red hatch..

I painted my stock emblems w/ a light coat of metallic black spray:



But now I have these, I'll probably just leave them as they are:

The 's came off of 92-95 Civic hoods, the HONDA is from a 90-93 Accord.
