Agree that you should try plastidip - or buy a second set of emblems just in case you want to revert back to silver. I had mine done black (but my TL is black, not white) and I love the look. Very clean. I say go for it.

it is a problem, you seem undecided.
if you paint them, and dont like it..........you're gonna have to buy new emblems.
if you plastidip them, you can get an idea of what it looks like without going the permanent route.
if it werent a problem, you would have done it already. just saying.

Russ, one of our vendors (I think it was HeelToe) sells black Acura emblems.
Have you considered painting them gunmetal instead of black? Those would look good too-they may not be so stark of contrast too.

Does anyone sell matte black or gunmetal ones? I have a WDP and think black would look good but I'm not crazy about the black chrome. Also, how hard is it to remove the emblems? Are they just glued on?

The gunmetal would give you just that slight bit of contrast that would look awesome.
