I kinda like the black pearl ones, but I'll prolly just paint some flat black. I see a lot of toyota/lexus w/ black emblems from the factory, too bad Nissan didnt give that option.

This is black pearl side emblem on my Z. I also installed 350z and rear 'Z' emblem in black pearl as well. I must say they look quite nice.. It is quite noticeble when compare to stock emblems..

400 grit sandpaper first. 4 coats of black. Wet sand with 600 grit. Then with 1000 grit. Two coats of clear. Wet sand with 1000 grit. Twice. Done.

You can tint chrome emblems by scuffing, spraying VHT niteshades, and clear coat. Just like tinting taillights. I've seen it before and it looks nice.

For starters, you need to contact Courtesy Nissan if they'll lower the price if you have a volume purchase.

There is a bunch of white shiite on your car just below the Z emblem. Clean that crap off!
