Black badges on black car?

[adhar]

Hi fellas,

The other day i was driving past a black Porsche and it had a black badge; i thought it looked pretty stealthy and cool with the black on black.

I did a search, and haven't seen anyone who has painted their rear badges black before. Anyone done it?

What do you think, would it look rice or tryhard? I've taken my Liberty badge off altogether, but am thinking of getting a GT badge and painting it black.

I photoshopped some examples to see what it would look like - i hope the original owners of the pics don't mind.

Or for the ultimate stealth look de-badge it entirely!

Otherwise i think it looks alright.

I want a black Subaru badge.

I agree, that is what i've got at the moment, no Liberty badge, but i just thought the black badge might look cool.

Tangcla, did you want a black Subaru emblem? That would look good on a silver car.

excuse the filth but...

a bit like this you mean?

i reckon the black badges look great on the black cars.. however would look a bit strange on lighter coloured cars ie the older camry sportivos with the black badges.. just doesn't look right

i'm thinking of doing that DIY colour emblem from LGT for mine, maybe white on the front and black on the back?

Do them matt. Matt on gloss will look cleaner and even more stealth. I had matt black flames on a gloss black helmet once

+1 (I'm biased though )

Also STI badges look great with black background with gun metal grey lettering replacing the pink.

hey thats my car hehe IT LOOKS WICKED!! now i can see what its going to look like on my car hehe you've given me much to think about my friend

[adhar]

No worries Tony, glad i could help! I even made the STI badge black around the outside if you look closely.

I'm thinking matt black would look great too as Adrian said... hmmm what to do, what to do...

I've been a big fan of the badge-less clean look until recently when I got hold of the 'LEGACY' badge in black chrome.

Always thought a black car should have chrome trim & badges, but I think black on black looks ok.





Matches with the STi badge I have on the grill which I painted a metallic charcoal.

That looks sweet Jim.

I have actually ordered a 2.0 GT badge from Japanparts which i will spray black and put where the Liberty badge was. I'm thinking metalic gloss or matt black i haven't decided yet, but i'll wait until i get the badge before i decide.

Yeah I do, but I'm too lazy to make it myself
