Default Painting emblems and door handles

Since my car is going to the body shop after the incident this past week. I was considering getting all the emblems and door handles painted gunmetal grey to match the wheels and lower body pieces. Also I still need to find out how much this would cost. Just need some feedback on if its a good idea or not.

Thoughts?

Sounds like a good idea.
Should be reversible if you don't like the look.

Always wanted to color match handles to my redline. I have not been
able to find a "skilled" painter in so fla. I would suggest also matching out
the side view mirror stalks. I have done so - and imo the car just looks a
little better. Emblems, ehhhh. I didn;t think I'd like this until I saw the gold
photo chop of a few days back. Maybe paint it all?

Each to their own I guess, I sometimes wonder if people are modding just for the sake of it... but hey ho

I think mine looks fine in Blac with silver accents and grey body.

Maybe I'm just too old for this ****...

If your going for the all black look hit up the 5%.

Sure you cant see out them at night but it looks real sick.
