Side markers look great.

Emblems looks nice but your car, your style.

First off, nice job.

That being said, I have to agree with the guys here - sidemarkers look great, the badges should either be shaved are done in black/gunmetal. They would probably grow on me after time.

Anyway, kudos for taking a chance and doing something different. If you are happy with it, then that's all that matters.

how hard were the side markers to remove and do? ive already similarly done my emblems in black on my black nismo and the side markers are the next thing on my list then the door handles.

The side markers pop out in 3 seconds or less.

Push them towards the rear of the car, and you can pull the front side out, and it just pops out.

After that, its a matter of tapping off, and painting.

In this case, the 'Z' in the center of the marker was removed, they are just stuck on with gum adhesive, and pop right off with a flat head (gently of course).

Taking it out makes it easier to paint, and then tape off the rest of the marker without it there.

I actually didn't know any of this before hand, so I had purchased a brand new OEM pair of markers off eBay as guinea pigs $50 shipped, just in case I ruined something in the process.

I also want to do the door handles. Was debating on dipping them, but I think I'd rather have more permanent paint, and I liked how everything else came out going factory matched.
