Default Blacked out symbols and grille lights

I decided to black out my side and rear gt emblems and also add blue led strips in both my upper and lower grille a few weeks ago but just got around to uploading the pics. I think the symbols turned out great. I first sanded them down, 3 coats of primer, and 3 coats of flat black paint. They seem to be holding up well and I washed the car 4 times so far with no problems. As far as the lights go, I know some may not be a fan of them but any opinions are welcome. Does it look to "import"? I saw it on a charger and it looked pretty cool so I tried it out.

Looks good, may want to look into the legality of the blue lights though. If it's for show only there should be no problem.

Thanks, and yeah I am not sure about the legality but I have been down tight 2 way streets and passed cops going the opposite direction and go nothing. I have them wired to the fogs so if anything I just turn off the fogs and they go off. Not sure how much longer i'm going to keep them though, not really sure how they look.

Your emblems look good. You put more work into them than what I did. I scuffed mine with 120grit, primed, then painted satin black. The've held up well but are starting to bubble a little. I'll probably have to rework them more like what you did.

Really liking the way the black emblems all around match with your blue on black theme. Looks bad-***. As for the lights...personally not my taste. I think they look cool, but in my opinion they start to get a little ricey for me. Great looking car either way though. It's awesome to see some good representation for grabber blue

I say if bikers can run blue strobes you should be able to run solid strobes! Nuff said!

ugh....they look freakin awesome! I have to say, your overall car looks like a beast. Maybe springs next? I think it needs a more muscular stance, not too low though, and then itll look even better IMO
