I usually do too, but I like how mine don't contrast at all, and the SS emblem is almost hidden. Helps to that I took the one on the rear completely off. lol

Rick, are they kind of like the Impala SS emblems from the 90's? I liked those too. You had to look for them to be sure that they were there. This is the first thread that I ever started and it's pretty neat to me that people still see it. I made it in August last year.

No, not old ones. They're the new ones that came on the door from the factory. I just added the black insert. See pic.

X2... They look like they were meant to be together.

Hahaha. Thanks! I'll pat myself on the back, because that's EXACTLY what I'm going for. I want people who know what the car is about to realize how much work and detail I have got into to make it this way, and I want people who have no idea about the car to just look at it and think, "Damn, that's a hot car."

Just wait until the weather breaks. If you've looked at my Garage, you can see my future plans, and they're going to be nice additions.

I agree with you 100%. I go for clean, understated, and unique. Although if we parked our cars side by side, neither one of them would look that unique!

What plans do you have?
