Prefer either debadging or more contrast if u wanna keep the emblems. Right now it looks like they painted the car, but were too lazy to remove the badges prior to doing so.

I'd take off the tailight overlays and go back to silver badging, otherwise it looks pretty good. Not a big fan of the wheels but they aren't offensive.

I saw the same thing on a Lexus the other day. Black logo and lettering. Looks good on a black car. COnsidering doing mine like that... maybe one of the many winter projects I have planned once the car is parked this fall.

I am actually in the process of blacking out my emblems. I barely did the "G35". I sanded them. And just follow the regular painting procedure. 3 coats of primer, 4 coats of black, 3 coats of clear. That simple.

LOL in other words, you're not a fan of anything he's done to the car.

let's see...
1. black headlights are my next project, and should be done in the next 3 weeks (i have work off for 3 weeks, sweeeet! spend money!!)
2. the black emblems: i just bought a set of stock silver emblems, and took them to the bodyshop when i had my grill painted, and had them paint them too. No sanding, no prepping, just sprayed those suckers with auto paint.
3. I appreciate all the feedback, i must say, these pics don't do the car much justice IMO, but to each his own, obviously. When i finish the headlights, i'll get better photos done, after a detail, and throw some more pics up.

word to your mothers.

hahaah, nice. It's a paint in the *** sanding the fricking letters. I am doing the INFINITI right now. I love the black emblems. I think the Lexus IS350 comes with black emblems. I seen it and I like it.

What do you need to prime for? sand with 600 grit and spray your basecoat (and no not some sh*tty spray paint either, AUTOMOTIVE BC/CC!) and then clear......

You don't want those. They are replicas.
