FYI, you "smoke" tail and headlights. you "paint" emblems.

I think gunmetal emblems and door handles would look great on a black Z. Maybe I'll look into it now that you brought it up.

It would also really set off a set of gunmetal rims too.

I bought my black pearl emblem from Courtesy Nissan. Got my lights blacked-out by Blue Batmobile. Had my door handles painted by a local bodyshop.

Headlights, taillights, front reflectors, & rear turn signals -> Blue Batmobile smoked overlays
Door handles & stock rims -> Custom painted gunmetal
Front, side & rear Z emblems -> Carbon fiber

you can smoke the emblems with the vht nite shades just like people do with their taillights. or the vht spray on tint. it gives it a smoked chrome look without buying emblems from somewhere else for way more.
