I have a jet black TTS. the model designation is painted in same color. it does have a stealthy look, but is invisible unless next to it. same goes for the electric lettering. i did order the red model designation on the doors and it looks great. I thinking about changing the rear designation color to red to match the doors. Another option is yellow to highlight the brake calipers. any thoughts? Leave jet black, change to Red or Yellow?

What color is your interior?

Red would look nice to match the strip tail lights imo, (and also matching your door sign)

Or delete rear since you have the door stickers.

I had my rear emblems painted the color of my car, Gentian Blue. It looks much cleaner and custom.

The yellow calipers with red text seems busy to me but of course entirely personal choice and I tend to be more conservative if I'm honest :) Had my rear badge colored body color which for Volcano Grey works just right in that you still can read easily. I wonder if volcano grey on black would be interesting but you'd need to match the doors (or remove those) :)?

If you have jet black paint, I would go with 'flat black' designation. Or reverse if you have a flat black wrap, go gloss/jet black designation. Still subtle but will not completely fade into the paint. I am sure whatever you do will work for you and your taste.

Vehicle emblems/badging:

1. those who know don't need to know
2. enthusiasts who don't know will inquire
3. those who don't know don't matter.
