You should paint the lines running through the emblems black or outline the emblems in black to match the scheme.

My crappy photoshop 1 (lines painted):

My crappy photoshop 2 (just outlined):

My crappy photoshop 3 (outlined w/ lines outlined):

My crappy photoshop 4 (outlined w/ lines painted):

Again, my photoshop skills are crap (that took me over half an hour

) but you get the idea. I am leaning towards "just outlined" myself.

People have kept saying what color to go with black and I've kept saying BLUE BLUE BLUE, the Goddamn pen is BLUE!

Looks 1000x better than red. Gorgeous.

Honestly though, if it were my car I would get a 1974 style emblem:

and paint the Z (leave the 28 chrome) either your blue (left) or black (right):

Just a thought...
