So I dont think this deserves it's own thread but I wanted to share. The PO of this car had all emblems painted black front and rear of the car. I debadged the whole rear and have left the front alone... well lately I've been seeing B5s with the OEM rings up front and liked it so figured I'd paint mine back! So here's some pics and let me know what ya think! To see before pic just look at muh sig!

me likey. I was never a fan of the blacked out rings look. I feel like they should stand out, not blend in.

I think it looks good especially since you have a silver car.

Looks good! I wish I hadn't left mine black. You should paint the surround black though, ties things together better I think.

I painted mine body color then took some thinner and a Q-Tip to the very tops of the rings. Just so there was like a pinstripe of silver just at the very top.

You should do carbon fiber outer grille. I think it would look good on a black car.

I personally don't think those would look good on a B5.
