Default Gauging Intrest: Replacing the Nissan Hamburger

I am thinking about removing both the "350z" and the Nissan Hamburger emblem and replacing them with the big Z from the kickplate or rear strut bar cover. My question is... should I blacken the Z or leave it silver? Or just leave all of the original emblems on. Pics included below...

i have no idea but the tint idea sounds very clever.... i will probably buy several types and try them out on the 3 5 0 and z emblems before deciding what i want to use. if all goes well i might blacken my front nissan hamberger too

Try painting the 350Z black and also replacing the hamburger with the black Z. That would look nice.

Testors Black Pearl Paint #1813
Testors Clear Gloss Paint #1814

I read a diy on how to pearl toyota emblems. Found it on yahoo. Seems pretty straight forward so I decided im going to do both the front and rear emblems! Just ordered the paint. Spent 12 bucks shipped to my door. I cant wait!
