    i know a lot of guys on here go for the blacked out emblem look, but I wanted to share my emblems after hitting it with a Scott’s bright pad. Cool brushed aluminum look and anti chrome without being on the all black bandwagon.
    Top: chrome
    Bottom: brushed

    Gunmetal, copper, bronze, etc to match your wheels, that would look awesome!

    Well, brushed stainless is a gunmetal finish, but I see what you're saying.

    77A77E61-732A-4596-83F9-F14786FAF49E.jpg I’m not on the “black bandwagon” either. I did what looks best for my truck.

    I for one actually painted my extra set I bought rather than plastidip to start with. 2nd, I have a silver taco and black is the best color contrast. Mine match the fender flares perfectly. But hey, to each their own. The brushed looks reasonable. Black for me though.
