Default Bling Emblems? (pics)

Hello! I've been on here a year or so now, mainly just browsing not posting so I figure I'll change that.

I'm looking to "bling" my emblems. So I'm wondering, will it look tacky? if not, what color should I make them? My Monte is Dark Toreador (maroon) with silver stripes and chrome 18" rims, so I was thinking a diamond/silver colored rhinestone would be best, or maybe maroon to match the car?
I don't really like the red emblem emphasis (i.e. on the SS, probably because I'm jelly that I don't own one), especially on a maroon car, and I don't think black would look that great either...

(example pic: and no, there's no way I'm making them pink)


Right now my back bowtie is actually green
but I have a few laying around (that I may or may not have stolen from the junkyard)...
and I just got two more Monte Carlo script emblems to put on the side of my car, which I might also "bling"

Some examples of my car (excuse the dirtiness, more pics on
http://www.cardomain.com/ride/3879720/1):





Let me know what you think!

I love the hello Kitty exhaust tip. I have never seen that before. I'd say match the rhinestones to your car. maroon and silver would look good.

exhaust tip lol

I've seen a few "blinged out" car emblems and I didn't think any of them looked good. I would try and color match the car though..

You should bedazzle the car. Windows and all.

Then post pics.

I think I'll pass on that lol
I'm trying to not make my car look ridiculous, which is why I'm kind of skeptical about it...but my natural female tendency says to go for the bling
