Looks good, but I'd say go back to the pop up star emblem to complete the look.

Looks good. Did you use a special paint to stick to the chrome?

How was the surface prepared?

Beautiful!!!!!
That is exactly what I am working on. Did you paint it yourself? If you did can you give me some info. please? If you bought it, where did you buy it from?

I agree with the gentleman about the classic star...



Thanks

I disagree, flat hood emblem much sportier, keep the flat hood emblem. Black grille looks awesome on black car w/ FHE, Keep it exactly the way it is!! . Did you do primer then black then clearcoat? describe which process you did. thanks

I had a local body shop paint it. I think they sandblasted, painted, and clear coat. I don't think I would ever have a pop up hood emblem. I had a friend drive the car and I saw from a far and it looks mean. I am very happy with it.
