Blacked out badge?

Chopstick217 · 07-09-2010, 01:04 PM

Hey guys, my vehicle is as listed in my sig. I am going to get the LCI tail lights along with the perf diffusor from Long Tran soon. I was trying to find some pics of blacked out badges on alpine white 335s but couldn't find any. Anyone think they look good? bad? Thanks in advance

I don't have shots on an LCI but IMO it works really well if you have the blackout theme on the car. Black and white contrast on Alpine White is very clean.

Not LCI, but I think it goes well with the flat black grille. Here's my car:

I'd de-badge before blackout....I think it only looks clean blacked out on black cars.

simple : de-badge > blackout
with some other black mods : blackout > de-badge

anyway mine, still stays stock condition.

I would debadge before blackout as well, but if you go the black route, do gloss black instead of matte. It will match the shadowline trim and it looks like you have a gloss black roof too.

Yeah I am going for the black and white theme. I guess if it looks bad, I can always de-badge or go back to the chrome ones
