New and Improved Grill Emblem
I was hating that chrome so much so i decided to paint my emblem.
It's basically flat black paint. I sanded down the chrome a little and then gave it a couple of coats of paint. very simple.
I would also love to get ride of the chrome headlights but there is no way I could do that oven stuff.
Maybe the base Fit lights. Or get someone to do the oven thing for me. And while there at it they can take out that god awful orange reflector out of there.

I think it looks great. Maybe the satin--whichever one is between matte and shiny--would have matched the grill a little more, but I like the fact there is still a small bit of contrast between the two.
I don't think you will find many people on this forum to like it though, too many people are attracted to shiny things and additional badges.

thanks for the input guys.
I think it looks good.
would really just like to have a plain
grill but that ain't going to happen
anytime soon.
mikejet your pics aren't working.

Doesn't look bad, but kinda looks like the "H" emblem is now missing. Gloss black may blend better? Hmm.
Oh btw, i love the garage floor. I've been wanting to do that to mine forever. Did you do it yourself? What kind of solvent/degreaser did you use before painting?

Yeah I unshared the web album on Picasa that had them. I'm going to take new pics after I wash the car today.
