I've got a silver B5. I plan on blacking everything out (wheels, windows, lights) but was wondering if anyone has painted their rear emblems black. If you have, would be great to see it. And if no one has done it, what are your opinions on it. I'd like to try to get the circles to stand out more, but I think I'll just debadge the rest.

 

i dunno I dont think it would look very good but I have never seen it so i dont know for sure

 

hmm..never seen it done before. i'd get one of the photochop guys to make it for you so you can see if u like it. i got a black b5 and i just took everything off except the rings, which i left chrome cuz it makes it stand out more

 

Things to do...take off ugly badges, LoL
That looks pretty sick, gotta make sure to do it, and paint lowers. I'll give the photoshopping a whirl. I don't have photoshop, but I have another program that's 1/4 as good that I can fiddle around with. After all, I did make my little picture over there using pictures I took of the front and back of my car.

I haven't seen any silver b5's with the rear emblem painted black.

I think it might look cool, photoshop it and if you like it, give it a try.

Some have done the grill rings in black, but thats a whole different ball game because they are attached to the grill rather than the body.

 

I guess this is what it would look like if I got rid of the A4 and the *gulp* 2.8. I didn't "tint" the window though. But In my opinion I think it looks pretty good...better than chrome.

P.S. It looks kinda like crap because I'm not that great, not because the program sucks, LoL

Looks kinda cheapo imo.

 

I agree. I personally like the Badges on the rear trunk lid, all of them. As far as the front grille, I like when the Audi logo is left chrome while the rest of the grille is painted black. That's just my opinion, but I think its a pretty clean look not too over-the-top.
