+1 on the airbrushed emblems. Over the summer there was a good post by someone in Utah that removed them, filled the holes, and airbrushed on awesome emblems that looked 3d. Maybe he'll read this post and put up his pics. real sweeet!

After looking at some of the pictures im starting to agree, too much empty space. I think the GS looks great with out it, i dont know if that because of the stripes or the rounder front end. I saw the airbrush one from this summer and that did look great, however i dont have the time/talent/money for something like that right now. Looks like i'm going to have to buy new emblems... maybe the later style since their colors match my car better and they can be found slightly cheaper.
