matte black badges on black?

Hey all, I searched but couldn't find any pictures of it. Anyone done this and have pics or seen it and want to give your opinion?

I think it would look pretty slick when it's subdued.

I've seen in in real life once but don't have a photo. I dont think it looks good because you can hardly see it, but can tell "something" is there. ..

+1

Matte black looks "less bad" than gloss. If you don't like the stock chrome badge I suggest you debadge the car.
