Blacked out emblem

Never really liked the look of the black emblem on black grille, preferred chrome on a black grille but I bit the bullet and decided to try gloss black, needless to say, I think it actually looks awesome...either that or the grass is greener on the other side?

Seriously? I had bright blue rims for the past 2 months. Btw my rims aren't black in this pic, look closer, they're a very dark shade of violet.

LMAO if you know Jesse and his posts there's one thing you definitely can't say about him, and that's that he's not original! Like the black emblem, looks good!

Oh, I missed that completely. 2pts for the unique color choice is that your theme? Can I suggest to do the emblems in the same color it would be less commonly seen and subtle.

I change colors every 2-3 months. People did love the blue, they told me to keep it instead of going black believe it or not, this violet is plasti dip too.

Note the matte orange civic sitting behind the G -- That's also Jesse's. He's definitely not boring when it comes to his color choices.

By the way Jesse, the purple is probably my favorite of the colors I've seen on your car, nice work man.

Please don't get new wheels if you're gonna dip 'em. Let's be completely honest here, you're a dip addict and no matter what wheels you get, they're gonna get dipped. The first step to rehab is admitting you have an addiction. C'mon. you can do it. We're here to help.
