New Blacked-out Emblems
Just finished adding them to the back of the car... moving onto to the side V8 Kompressor emblems. I'll have updated pics later.

What you have to do is buy a whole new set of emblems, take it to a paint shop and have them do it. Then you take off the stock emblems and replace them with the painted ones...

It looks like high gloss paint, but I can be wrong. They came out incredible... looks OEM (if they were to have offered it as an options.. hehe)

Nope, not at all. I used fishing line to seperate the emblems from the car. Very easy. I removed and replaced them one-by-one to ensure that the new ones went on in the exact same position.

Did you ever look into trying to get them to look like black chrome? I would like to do that, but am not sure how or where to get that done. Do you have any suggestions?

I don't know what it is about the blacked out tailights, but I don't like them. Maybe because it reminds me of the fast and the furious.
