Black Si Emblems on NHBP.

While I do like the Si emblems on my car I don't like how much the red stands out against black, so I made mine black to match, but the chrome outline is still there. I like it quite a bit more. Here's how it looks.

I like that!!! Nice job!!

If I hadn't gone with my theme of black AND red, I'd do it but I need red right now


What kind of paint did you use?

Yeah, tell us what you did to change them. I might do this to my ride since I've got black rims with a polished lip. I think it would match well.

I think it would look hot to get that hobby paint that's used for tinting the windows on the hobby cars (transparent black) and painting the Honda emblems to make them look gunmetal-ish. That's what I'd do if I still had the NBP. :)
