Default SS badge color on black

The red SS badges are starting to look ugly to me. I'm thinking black badges on a black car might look good, either painted or anodized. Has anyone done this? Does anyone sell black metal badges?

Changed my black and red to black and silver also. Since I also have silver berger style stripes the red didn't go too well either.

Ooo yea ok where can I get some black/silver SS badges? Actually, anyone know where I can view/purchase a variety of different colored badges? Ever since I bought my SS it seems like there's a dozen of them on the road everwhere I go, so its time to make it look different. I want some that'll match the clear corner blinker housing and the little red panel on the rear fenders im gonna replace.

GM part number for the silver bordered SS badges is 12369966. They retail for $36.11 but employee price is $26.64. Still kinda high for 1 emblem.

I breathe life into this topic again. SO, I went to the local chevy dealer w/ that item # and sure enough it was the correct item. However, they were not $36 but instead $66 (!!!) EACH! I wanted 3 of them but holy ****... is there anyone else around selling them cuz I dont really feel like paying over $200 for some flippin SS badges.

While on topic is there a Silver/black replacement for the chevy cross emblem for the rear?
