Default SS emblems, feedback on colors

Here's a couple of pics of the new SS emblems on Don's car. We used a silver background around the letters. We are thinking of offering silver, black, and maybe a charcoal color. I don't have pics with the black, but it made the emblem look like the stock one in that color (my opinion) and lost a lot of the billet look. Raw machined aluminum looked good too with the letters polished, but you could still see the machining marks around the letters.

Any thoughts on colors would be appreciated.

I like the SS emblem with the silver back ground and i'd have to see what it'd look like with the other colors you mentioned...To me I think a darker color behind the SS would look a little better. I like the sound of the charcoal background coloring!

Looking good!

As for the colors, I think a lot of it would depend on the color of the car, but I like the idea of the raw, machined look. Can we get a pic from a 3/4 angle, Jody?

I like that as it is with polished letters. I would stay away from paint just to make sure its really set apart from the stock ones. But I could see adding color to match the car and it could look cool.
Cant wait til those are ready!

Oops, should have been more clear. I want the letters polished, but the surround would look cool with a raw, machined surface - just like the pics Jody posted.

I think I too would be prone to paint the background the body color of my car. The polished letters look great.

It looks good,it will IMO look best with a bunch of other billet stuff to tie it all in.

I think from a marketing standpoint, I would offer natural or polished and let the buyer choose from there what they want to do.

Default Suggestion

Jody, I think a brushed version (of course ) would look really cool...
