GMC grille photoshop
 
Can somebody photoshop this grille emblem into my pics? I have a couple different versions I'm trying to decide between before either painting or re-chroming the emblem. Any help is greatly appreciated!

Here are links to the emblem pics. Just use whatever you think works best.
Chrome:

Painted:

For this pic, I want the chrome emblem with red GMC letters. I'd also like to see the GMC letters in black:

For this pic, I want the painted emblem to be color-matched black. I would like to see red, orange, & brighter blue (not baby/sky) GMC letters.

This will give you an idea of how it fits into the grille proportionally:

If going that route, I was thinking of maybe having some vinyl letters cut in "chrome" for the GMC letters if I can't settle on a color.

Any thoughts/opinions?

I like the chrome/red and the black/red versions. The black/red reminds me of a GMC syclone.

I'm leaning closely towards the chrome/red. I've already begun checking around for reputable chrome plating companies. To me, I think the chrome just allows the emblem to stand out more. I think the black paint would somewhat hide the character of the emblem. I never thought about the Syclone resemblance, but you're right!

What do you think about the trim ring & billet both being black, with the emblem being chrome/red?
