Default Black SS & Monte Carlo Emblems?

I've been looking at my car with the Black wheels and tinted windows and think I may go with Black emblems. I found the door SS, trunk SS, bowties, & monte carlo emblem in black for decent prices. They are the same sizes & style as stock, just all black.

Do you guys think that would be a nice contrast with the silver paint?

I do value each of your opinions and I am pretty particular about asthetics, so be honest

I personally like the badgeless look but I do think that Black emblems on your car with the rims would look great!

Interesting...I was just looking at a sight called GrafxWerks.com with the exact same website layout and products. They have everything we would need to re-color our SS badges and F&R bowties...I am still looking for a black monte carlo overlay for the trunk emblem...perhaps they can make one?

i think it would stand out. silver is just one of those colors that looks best with black. i would do it. i know my cars not silver but i have black wheels and black emblems and i can get you some pics if you want.

The red and black contrast looks great. Im not too big a fan of the silver and black TBH. Anyone want to shoop it?

GW makes great decals. I was a test mule for a few of them. You can also get them at the NAIOA store.

And yes, definitely go for some contrast.

PM sent...

I came up with an idea for the monte carlo trunk emblem I can't seem to find anywhere in black - I plan to remove the monte carlo emblem and install GrafixWerks 5.3 LITRE-LS4 decals in the same spot. The black bowtie would be in the stock position & black SS emblem in its stock position. The 5.3 LITRE-LS4 decals would be outlined in chrome with a black center, matching the rest of the the emblems...I think it would look pretty cool, no?

Also, what about the GrafixWerks black/chrome 303 HP decal under the SS door emblems...Just looking for a subtle custom touch.

I would love to see some pics - your car is BadAss - the red/black contrast is spot on.
