With a little time and creativity...
With a little time and creativity, I blacked out the corvette emblems on my car. My car is black, so the emblems dont stick out as much anymore. Its a subtle change that didnt take long to accomplish. Made a template and went to town....Sorry for the crappy pic...cell phone[IMG]

I cut out some high quality black vinyl and heat wrapped the emblem
Some may like it....some may not. I love the look!

Post a decent picture and I'm sure you'll get a lot more opinions. I can't really tell if I like it or not. I DO like the idea.

It is. The pic was taken with Flash in garage so it sucks. Matches the black great. Gives it a mean subtle look. Its so easy to do, a caveman could do it lol

You can get away with that on a black car but I don't think it would look very good on any other color. I do like it on your car though. Very inventive

Hard to tell what was done, but nice to see something different.

I see it now...works on black, no doubt. What would really be cool is to remove the emblem and have it airbrushed on in a dark charcoal tone

Now I remember why I don't miss my black C-5. Black looks good for about 8 minutes after you wash it. I like the idea of removing the emblem too. What you did is good too.
