Smoked badges on silver ride..

Guys need help!!

Got a silver 55, smoked lights and some new split rims (gunmetal)
Now im thinking wether I should smoke the badges (amg, e55 & V8 kompresor)
What do you think? Should I spray them in a graphite colour to match the wheels or should I leave it in the chrome it already is in? Does anybody have any pics of any done in graphite rather than black? Also should I change the V8 kompressor badges to the 5.5 amg badges?
Your opinions please

Thanks in advance

It would be sick if you black chromed them. That I haven't seen done before.

And as for the Kompressor or 5.5 badge do whatever you feel looks best. I switched to the 5.5 badges because they are different that everything else in my neck of the woods.

I took off my V8 Kompressor badges so people think I'm just a regular W211 with AMG brakes when I pull up to them.

I prefer the 5.5 amg badge over the kompressor for the same reason as Tgoss, it's different and not typical around my area.

+1 The 5.5 badges make people guess a little bit as they don't see it often.
