    Gold emblems are hideous IMO! You can probably find them on Ebay easy.

    And you really need to paint that front bumper..... seems everyone is just throwing new parts on without paint.

    Do you want to paint it? Lol I live in ny where they charge 600 just to paint a bumper not to mention i just lost my job. And gold emblems would looks perfect on a white car that has gold rims.

    I sprayed a car with some thinned out rustoleum black paint years ago. Looks 10x better than any maaco paint job I have seen and it still looks great to this day! Total cost was 75 bucks or so. I have some pics of it on my laptop at home. I'll post them when I get home. It's really all in the prep work with painting. Maaco does horrible prep work, if they even do any at all.

    Well with your luck, your car won't last 2 years before needing paint again anyway.

    Who ever owned my corolla before did some shit paint job , I know any pearl metallic paint is hard to lay down but the orange peel finish was laughable at best totally unacceptable, even my shop guy said it looked like sandpaper never touched it and the og paint under the lip spoiler was completely different than the respray paint smh
