Eh... on the other hand, i think it's the blue badge (on black car) that doesn't look quite right.

I always thought it would look really cool to have a color matched hood badge....especially if it is completely flat with the hood so that it is smooth. Also carbon fiber would look good on a black car too. Good Luck, and tell us how it goes. I might follow suit.
