LEAVE THEM BLACK

It looks really good like that. Maybe a red pinstripe on top?

Black will look really good on your car.

I tried double-sided emblem tape. It failed miserably, they pulled up my weatherstripping and I had leaking problems in the rain at my windshield. I then went in with silicone and now they will never come off hahaha

Congrats!! I was thinking body color, keep it discreet and evil eyes away from it.
But black goes well!
