Billet/Brushed 5.0 emblems

[WeinerDog]

OK, just got my Stance Brushed Titanium wheels and now the chrome 5.0 badge/emblem looks out of place.

Anyone sell a dark stainless or brushed look 5.0 badge? I'll go black otherwise but I'd love something classier. Yes, I searched and couldn't find anything nice.

I haven't seen anything, but you could always make them yourself. Use a red 3M Scotch Brite pad and scuff your emblems. If you want to darken them, tint some clear and spray them or you could do really light, even, coats of VHT Niteshade.

Nice idea, thanks!

I've been wondering the same, and I haven't found anyone selling them. I have brushed wheels and Magnetic. The "GT", "5.0" and pony all look out of place. I thought about black, but nothing else on the car is blacked out.

I hate shiny fake chrome, so one of the very first things I did was to dip my emblems. I used an anthracite dip and they came out very well.

If there were an actual brushed billet solution I'd probably go that way, but I think the anthracite dip looks very, very good; it subdues the ugly flashy fake chrome and is set off well by the Magnetic color.

Very nice! What dip product did you use and where did you buy it? Thanks.

Well, I decided to just get some shiny black ones. I actually like the pony and GT emblems chrome just don't care for the chrome 5.0's.

It's a Dupli-Color dip, part number CWRC797:
