I think that would look pretty good if you followed the whole black and white theme...Are you tail lights tinted too?

you should finish off the BnW theme by getting your headlights black housed, and a black roof overlay. You can do black housing on your clear corners too.

Any shop can paint them black. You can do that yourself. I'm sure that's not tough. But if you wanted Black Chrome...you'd have to find a special shop that can do that. Infiniti-Parts.com sells the emblems in Black Chrome, but its pricey. If you don't trust yourself, and want the emblems black, call Johnny at International Auto Body (San Bruno, CA) at 650-871-5453. He painted my grill OB and did a great job. He has excellent prices as well.

IvoryGT does black housing. But you have to ship him your lights. He does excellent work, he did mine. PM him for a quote if you can afford to be w/o your headlights for 1-2 weeks.

I found a shop that does Black Chrome, but they charge high prices and I've read mixed reviews on them. Haven't found one that is praised by others. I stopped searching though b/c I got the ones from Cody. Gluck Beebo.

There's shops around, do a google with 'black chromium' + 'your state' that's what the process is known as. I got a few hits on actual shops. Then make sure shop is set up to do that with plastic. Not all shops can black chromium plastic, metal yes, but not all can do plastic.

I'm poor so going the painting route, black chromium is not cheap what I've heard.
