so you are talking about just gloss or flat the emblem??????? I would leave the emblem alone.
Keep it chrome? I kinda want to get rid of the chrome. The touring has way too chrome imo. I wish i had color matched door handles and no chrome around the windoes.

But maybe leaving it chrome will make the car less tacky looking.

the emblem being chrome is fine, but the chrome door handles and trim around the doors needs to go for sure.

If plasti dipping the emblems is not your preferred choice, you can wrap them or order custom made carbon fiber badges from me. Color combo is of your choice.

Yeah wrapping small stuffs is easy. If you messed up, just redo the process again. I have the similar color as yours but I wrapped the grill in cf and the emblem in psychedelic.

I would love a matte black grill. I wish I could just find a plastic one but they’re all glossy for some reason. Definitely bro do not powder coat a plastic grill it’s not possible. Powder coating only works for metal

I got stuck with both on my 18 ext 6mt.. I ended up with a 2021 sport sedan grill. I didn’t know at the time the mounting points were so different.. so I disassembled it and just swapped out the chrome bits. So now I have both.. probably looking to get fog lights eyebrows in gloss black to tie it in. I used my chrome bits on the 2021 grille. Would probably look nice on someone’s touring if they were into that sort of thing.
My vote is for all glossy though
