Source for a black hood emblem?
 
I'm about to get some graphics installed on my new F56S and I'd like to change out the front badge to black at the same time. I have searched high and low and can't find any in black. I did find a carbon fiber one but that would be a last resort.

Heat your emblem with a hair dryer & pry it off using steady pressure. There are 2 locating pins that you don't want to break so be very careful. Mask the center of the wings & spray with Krylon satin black for plastics. Let it dry fully, then shoot it with several coats of clear. Apply 2 sided molding tape and reinstall. Satin black overshot with a good clear produces an astoundingly shiny finish.

Doing a DIY spray paint on the current emblem is a good suggestion. I wanted to delete the chrome from my headlights so I opened them up and spray painted the chrome black with a flake. Might also try plasti dipping it as well.
