I wanted to share a photo of what I was able to do with my emblems. There were posts regarding the gold emblem that contrasts or clashes with the color of the car. My remedy was to get some chrome strip decals from the auto store and placed them over the emblems. I tried the rear first. Placed a strip over the gold and squeegeed it into place. Then took a blade and cut the excess. Did the same thing on the front except I had to do it in two pieces since the curvature of the front emblem created wrinkles.
Overall, the look of the front makes sense and it's a better vibe. The rear looses its impact because now at certain angles, it now looks like a giant bar of chrome over the lic. plate. Nonetheless, I think it does its job and I might even look to match the twilight blue. Last step will be to chrome or blue out the gold bowties on the wheels.
I will try to attach photos...hopefully they emerge in this post.
