need help deciding on custom badges

im in the process of ordering a set of custom badges from billet badges

ive decided on the rectangles being powdercoated black with the text "BLACKOUT" in a font like this one

and the oval on the tail gate like this one

problem im having, is deciding on what color to have them make the text/graphic. i thought about leaving it polished, so it stands out, but also considered DSG, or just making the whole thing black

my badges right now are all black, and im not real sure i like that, cause it makes it tough to read what it says


opinions?

lol, thats what ive narrowed it down to

i think for your truck, the silver would look good, b/c you have chrome rims

i have no chrome, so im still up in the air if i want the DSG look or a little chrome to make it stand out

Thats the problem with a blacked out trucks everything blends together. IMO some chrome would make it pop a little better. If not chrome then I would just go black. DSG might look ok but wont go with the theme. Good looking truck BTW is that the 6 foot bed?

thanks man, yea its the 6.5' bed... long

i was thinking the same thing with the black blending and chrome "popping" out a bit more

i want people to be able to read what it says so they know its all blacked out
