I like what you have done (the CG badging). Regarding color, I question if the hash marks are really CG, regardless of what GM says. They look like a lighter gray.

Looks good. I've been waiting to see how long before the aftermarket guys come up with a carbon fibre emblem.

I think it looks very nice! 
I think the chrome badges look fine with the chrome wheels but with the painted silver and comp gray I think this is very appropriate. My GS is black with chrome wheels but I kind of wonder how it would look if my badges were body color. If I could buy a set all ready to go I might swap them out for a change.
By the way, just how difficult it is to remove the badge and replace?
The OP did an excellent job with the badge and its lettering!

Looks great, Nice Job
Never thought the chrome ones were too bad, but it depends on what color the car is and if it has Chrome wheels or not.
I Really like the painted badges after seeing more pictures of them painted

That is an amazing (and soooo simple) transformation that suddenly dignifies the GS emblems. Until now, I never knew what it was about those emblems I didn't like...and I'm a chrome kinda guy! GM needs to take notice of your talent!

Looks good. I'm always amazed when people can get the inset lettering to look right, as I've never been able to do that.
Are you sure the stripes are Cyber Grey? They look pretty close to the Comp Grey wheels.
Is it just me, or does the wheel look tiny in the wheel well to anyone else?

I think they look great. Much better than the chrome. I agree in trying to match the hash marks. Even though they didn't match exactly they sill look excellent.
