How to black out emblems?

So i bought a black 4door 2011 GTI and want to black out all chrome emblems. How do i go about doing this? Can i buy them already done or do you suggest doing them my self? Can i safely remove front and back without damage? buying black matte rims also so should i matte the emblems also? :confused: :confused:

Haha yes it has the ricer lights and everything!

Install was very easy as it came prewired, and also had extra connections if I wanted to throw some defi gauges below the temp. console.

Its a great knob, sits lower than the stock one an is weighted at 250g which makes shifting a lot less labored an smooth.

Thanks for the compliments, my car looks much different now. When it stops raining in Norcal I can take some decent photos. I know thats nothing compared to people who get snow- but in Cali your spoiled rotten :p.

For the DIY, I hate to be a "search" button person but there are many threads on this under Plastidipping Emblems and removing the front grille. If I can find it without asking, you can too. (Not trying to be a dick on purpose)

Nice to see there are other blacked out emblem fans out there. :w00t:

I still never figured out the VW one on this new grille setup (MK5 was easy)

But for the GTI one, you gotta take the grille off (2 torx screws & then pull it off).....then just unclip the GTI emblem from the back
