So the clear or really what used to be clear center bezel emblems have just annoyed the shit outta me for along time...they just never look good unless they are new so borrowing from the idea of the 89 townies with the black bezel emblems I decided to do ones to match.... My 85 blue now has blue and my 86 brown now has brownies.... Outlined in silver..... Whatcha thinks....

I like the concept, but exact match may be more effective.
Edit: or matched to the interior colour if it's a complimentary colour to the exterior.Last edited by johnunit; 08-28-2014, 09:00 PM.

I dig the nice silver outlines. If there was some way to have a good color match to the existing paint it would look spectacular.~David~
