Default Emblem Swap: I need help

I have searched everywhere for an emblem that is either black or carbon fiber (including ebay) and I can't find anything. At least not one that is 9inches. Does anyone have any ideas where I can get one? I would prefer an actual replacement but an overlay might have to do.

Thanks for any suggestions.

I painted mine black. I used the universal gloss black from duplicolor. I used black primer and clear. taped off the emblem right on the truck. used a 3M scuff pad to scuff up the chrome, 3 coats of primer, 3 coats of gloss black, 3 coats of clear.

heres how it looks:

Anyone else thats looking, someone on another forum told me to check out www.patriotdecals.com. They are overlays, waiting for mine to come in but check out the photos on the site, they look pretty nice.

If your like me and didn't see something you like out there just do them up the way you want. I did my 09 emblems dark shadow grey and left the letters textured black:



If you really want black emblems just paint them black and pick up some overlays of whatever color you'd like the text to be. A can of spray paint and some patience will give you good results.

Coner, where did you get the Dark Shadow grey? Was it a spray can? Do you have the paint code??
