Anyone good with photoshop?
 
Trying to decide if I like the look of a silver badge on my color or not. The gold just kinda reminds me of the gold badging option you used to be able to order from acura and lexus in the 90s. Sorry for the crappy picture but it's the only one I have with a decent view of the badge. Doesn't need to be perfect.

The picture you posted is not high enough resolution to do this very well, but here is my attempt.
All I did was add a white/silver tint over the gold parts, if you put the pictures next to each other the difference is more noticeable. :cheers:

Appreciate the effort! Figured it wouldn't be the best picture to work with. How about this one? I'd take a better one but the car is stored right not so I don't really have access to it.

Terrible car picture. Find one online with the right color and closer view of the area you want the badge. Even without a picture, I think that a de-ambered front will go well with the silver.

It's a bit of an uncommon color so I've had no luck finding a better pic online. I guess I might have to take a chance on this one!

With your headlights, it will definitely look good. ;)

There's a good photo here to work off of: https://i.ebayimg.com/00/s/NTc2WDEwMjQ=/z/qt4AAOSwiylXDAKK/$_86.JPG

The OCD in me though would need the 4 colored wheel crests to match in silver too. :)

Oh 100%. I would probably want to change out the gold center caps if I had them too. Luckily I have the black ones which should be fine with silver. The only thing that wouldn't match is the steering wheel. And that doesn't really bother me.

Just made the order. Fingers crossed :)

I will post a proper picture when I get it installed.

I know you guys have been dying to see how this turned out, so here it is. It's hard to tell the difference in these pictures but in person it looks great.

Also hit the area under the badge with my polisher while I had the chance
