Does anyone know where I can get letters that are more of a pewter/greyish black, instead of the factory chrome letters. I thought of this when I saw a GS300 with these color letters. Any input is much appreciated as always.

Maybe you could have them powdercoated?

I think I am going to do this tommorow

I currently have gold emblems, which looked good at first on my starfire blue car - but now they have faded, and I am sick of gold, so I was going to change to silver.

BUUUT, now reading this I am definately going to keep them and just paint them dark blue also. Or maybe dark grey? What do you all think? My friend has 2 vipers, and the emblems on them "RT/10" and "GTR" are in the same color, so its not very noticeable, just looks like raised lettering - I love it!

What color - dark blue or dark grey ?

I also didn't like my chrome MAXIMA emblem on my trunk, so I decided to paint it black and to me , It didn't look too good, so I went ahead and bought SE-L titanium edition emblem (matches my tint "titanium plus"). Looks great!

EuroMaxima99SE: I was wondering if you could give me some detailed information about the tint on your Max? It looks amazing! Is it mirrored? Also whats the % and how much did you pay for it?

Thanks.

Its not mirror, but more mettalic looking, but there are 2 layers of tint. One is Platinum plus, (metallic) and on top of it there is smoke film, 35%...The reason I put 2 layers is because just by having metallic tint, you can see through it at night, but not during the day. I wanted to put another layer on top of it so at night, it would be just plain dark, so now U can't see through it at night nor duruving the day. And it took little glare off the metallic tint, so now it just looks great! IMPO too mirror is just ricey, I think...
