Need a few experienced opinions...
I want to black out the rear emblems on my car and have the front grill painted black, to go along with the black wheels I'm saving for. (HRE's FTW!) Anyhow, I found a body shop to do it. $250 to paint the grill and emblems and install them and it's just about $100 for the OEM rear emblems. Total of around $350. Sound like a good deal??

I did it my self its really not to hard to do and came out pretty good with some Krylon spray paint, I first went to get a couple quotes for the exact same thing but the body shops told me to look on ebay for blk emblems and blk grill , so I just did it my self.

These guys sell black badging. I would spend a few bucks and buy some then you can always keep the originals silver and put them back on when you come to sell it if need be.

Thanks for the advice guys. I am on the list for the CF grill but somehow the price keeps going up and up. If I can get that at the original price I'm gonna snag one and just paint my own rear emblems.. Fingers crossed!

If you go back and check the post, like the first ten get them for $250 then the next 5 are like $310, then up to $360.. it's pretty confusing.. I emailed them to get some clarification.
