Default Black Z emblems on Nogaro Red paint.. Yes or no

I have a Redline 350z with Black Drag dr-11 wheels. I think I want to order black z emblems to replace the silver one that come stock. How do you guys think it would look on the red paint?

No, i think they will look good, but not with the silver door handles. Also i don't think painted door handles look very good compaired to the aluminum of stock.

Why not paint the ones you have? I think it would look good.

All in the prep work. Use a little patience and they can turn out the same or better.

If you're really OCD, just debadge, bring them to a paint shop and re attatch. I'm sure it'll still be cheaper than buying all new emblems. They don't need to be OEM paint or anything. A generic glossy black will do.

And +1 on painting the handles. They will stick out like a sore thumb.

lol i wasn't completely serious about debadging the whole car, but just taking off the rear "Nissan" and "350z" emblems would look pretty clean. If you really want black ones, save yourself the money and just paint them.

If you take off the rear Nissan emblem, it will leave 2 holes, creating a lot more work.
