Default Debadge - Blackout opinion

About a month or so ago I debadged and blacked out my Z. I purchased a set of the Large Sliver "Zs" to cover the holes under the rear hamburg. Today on a whim I decided to paint the left over silver Z black.

Just looking for some opinions on what looks better:

Current configuration with the large silver Z:



Pic with the painted Z. You'll have to use your imagination as the red backing is still on the Z and it was just placed over the silver Z currently installed



Side by side:



Thanks for your input.

Silver looks better on a black Z, if you had a silver Z the black (flat black) Z would look better. I have a silver Z and I am thinking about painting the emblems flat black.

If I had to pick I would do the silver. Mine is shaved along with the rear wiper and I like it that way. Everyone knows what it is, so I see no point in it.

Looks like you blacked out your tail lights some. If you are going to do the other emblems black that rear out too.

what color wheels do you have or want or scheme are you going with for the rest of the car?
not a fan of the big z but would probably do a dark gunmetal or charcoal gray. matte finish
the gloss looks a little sour.
