Question Front emblem opinions.

Ok.. a grand majority of you have seen my car. If you haven't do a little digging im sure you will find it. ( i got tons of pics posted in the ralliart forums)
Only thing cosmetic wise to finish is fiberglassing some grills in an working on my trunk a little.
I painted my grill pieces i will be cutting to fit black.
Now my question is what do you guys think i should put on the front emblem?
Silver three diamonds?
Ralliart badge?
The Australian badge i seen with just two stripes?
Throw me some ideas.
If you got links to products i can buy ill give you big man hugs an kisses

3 diamonds, but not silver. Put a black overlay over them, so most of it is black, except for the chrome edge. Would look nice and mild.

just paint it black, it looks much better than the overlay IMO. thats what i did to the front, rear, and ones on the stock rims before i got my tenzos. get either flat black or gloss black, depending on whether or not you want it shiny and clear coat and just lightly sand down the emblems and spray away, then do a couple of clear coats to protect it, i used almost the whole can on just the front and rear emblems alone lol

If i painted the emblem black with black grills wouldn't it be kinda pointless an difficult to see?

i have the carbon fibers from lancershop.com (i actually got them on ebay though) on mine. They aren't too bad. Not sure if they are a fit for your ride though.

If you paint it, don't paint the whole emblem. Mask off the beveled edge first; so it looks like this (picture is a vinyl overlay):

own them. They look great if you get a good pair. The one I got for the front...the overlay was peeled a little bit on the corners.
