+1 on that. Thats what I did. Looked real good. Now I am back to the orginal chrome emblem on black grill because it matches the lip on my wheels better.

it is a bit steep- the price of originality I guess. I probably could have painted mine for alot cheaper but I thought these might look better. they should be more like 10 dollars more rather than double the cost of the regular ones...Originally Posted by aHero4Eternity

Can you take some better pictures of the black chrome emblem? It hardly looks like its black chrome. I went to order it but I looked at your comparison pictures again and decided not to..Theyre so similar

until i get a better pic you might see the color better in this one. if you look closely at this one the emblem is slightly darker than the grille. compare that to the first pic-Originally Posted by extreme4377

the difference is definitely noticeable. just not 80 dollars noticeable (to me)
