Dressing up OB Coupe

Ok, so I removed the INFINITI and G35 badges from the rear, but kept Mt Fuji, I want to remove this, paint it black and put it back on (so it is there but blends in). The question is, how do I match the front to the blacked out rear?

I was thinking:
A) Black out the Mt. Fuji in the grill (kinda think this will look stupid, but an option)

B) Black out grill and leave Mt. Fuji chrome (not sure it will look right with black emblem on rear and chrome on front)

C) Black out grill as it is including Mt. Fuji in front (easy but not much to make it pop, might just look like I forgot to remove Mt Fuji before I painted)

D) Emblem delete in front grill and black it out

What do you think?

Also, on OB coupe, clear corners (on there now) or smoke them a bit... probably have to smoke them a bit with all the blacking out of the grill...


Thanks guys!
Aaron


BTW, going to finish waxing her tonight and then I will put up some new pics, only pics I have up are from the day I bought her!

I like smoked clear corners on the OB color.

Black front grille removed badge. Remove badge in rear as well. IMO keep clear corners clear. Not smoked. Just my two cents.

don't think the black badge on rear will work? I think it is a unique idea, I like the Mt. Fuji, just want to mute it a little.... at the same time though, I want to tie the front and rear end together!

Black-chrome Rear Mt. Fuji emblem.

Paint front grill matte-black and put a black-chrome Mt. Fuji on there also.

Done

I'd consider painting the headlights black as well. I would leave the projector shroud chrome though.

I thought about the headlights but worried about it altering the amount of light that is reflected.... then again, overlays also would cut back the light that passes through.... hmmm.... good thought though... gotta think about it if I head toward blacking out the front and rear..

debagded my rear entirely
painted grille black but left the "mt.fuji" chrome (match the car paint ob)
question....i always thought the infiniti emblem represents an infinite road that just keeps going?????
like the two lines that line up at the end(center part) is the infinite road
