It couldn't hurt but i don't think it would look all that great. I could be wrong though, Photoshop wouldn't take to long and could probably give you a pretty good idea

^Ah dude haha that's the big question right there. I've been messing with it for a while and still kinda suck at it. I might be able to wing it, i think i may have a pic that will work since we both have pewter. Paint could work too but isn't as good most of the time.

Edit: the only one i have a good shot of is the one on the back but it should work, give me a sec here.

Yeah i actually like it quite a bit too, I don't really care for red on pewter but the emblem itself looks better imo. That's legit, ive been to little rock quite a few times it's pretty nice there.

Do yourself a favor and give Roger a call. His pieces aren't cheap, but you won't find better quality or customer service.
