Since you asked, I say take them off. Personally I don't usually like gold emblems...there are exceptions though.

silver or not at all man. check harold's recent threads. he just painted his gold letters black (he has a dark car). it might look good for you to have gunmetal colored letters

yeah take them off and either paint them silver or black, if you paint them black i suggest white grill with black emblem on the outside of the grill too.

click here for my post on painting your tail letters black, pics are including in the first post

hope that helps.. I had gold, HAAAATED them, wanted chrome - settled for chrome on the front, and black on the back, and looove it that way, gives it a unique look - makes people actually have to care to know, then they can find out - maybe im stupid, oh well.. check out that link,

i like mine done black, but its your car, do as you want! make sure you loove it !

IMO gold emblems only look good on the super black maximas. If you could get them painted black or a gunmetal color that might look nice though. The shaved look all the way around is always good too.

Take em off or change the color (gun metal, chrome) IMO. I just never cared for gold trim in general.

I have a black 4th gen that came with gold emblems (and trunk lock) when I bought it last year. I replaced them all ASAP with silver and now I'm wishing I'd just left the back emblems off, although I don't think the trunk looks as good with just the emblems shaved. It needs the trunk key hole filled in as well.

I think the gold only looks good on Black, however I think the Sliver looks better on black then gold. I just dont like gold

That is a very handsome silver Nissan symbol up front Harold.

Note: If you are confused, Harold's front Nissan symbol used to be my rear Nissan symbol

u should go wit the chrome emblems or shave them, because the gold emblems will start to fade in the long run.
