    I love the black emblems on my MGM. Granted I don't have any chrome on my truck so anything that's not body colored is black.

    I'm looking to buy the ballistic jester rims and i was wondering if anyone plasti dipped their badges red on a MGM to match the red on the rims? or would just blacking out the badges out look better? Im just trying to get ideas on which looks better.
