here is my new look rear end....i have the black theme going. Black and white roundels, tinted tails, black plate holder, and CHROME badges. The chrome badges look stupid. Im going to debagde it and the choices are as follows.
1. Debadge it and leave it with no badges (not much fun)
2. Debadge it and rebadge with matte black
3. Debadge it and rebadge with glossy black
My tails are going to get a clear coat and you can see the roundels. The plate holder isnt really glossy black. So which one do i get glossy badges or matte?...or like i said debadge it and leave it alone?
Thanks for the input...

i would go glossy.
like you said, no badges=no fun
& matte is just to plain looking for me.

I debadge completely despite my "smoked/tinted" theme. But maybe thats because its only a 525 haha. If it was more worthy Id rebadge with matte black. For yours, on AW, I recc. glossy black badges...

+3 Matte. It will also match your black grills and Shadowline window trim when you change them.
I was thinking gloss black if im going to change it because with the clear coat the tails will be shining nicely. Im thinking glossy. thanks for the input!
