I am not a fan of chrome lettering on my car, I love a blacked out vehicle. I did this to my last car, 2003 Infinity G35. So I have been thinking of doing it to my GT. So here it goes....
I DO NOT TAKE RESPONSIBILTY IF YOU MESS UP SOMETHING.
Parts:
PlastiDip can spray. (Lowes paint dept)
Blue Masking tape. (Lowes paint dept)
Newspaper. (Neighbor had it sitting in his driveway)

So First off, clean your car or clean the area you are going to be working with.
Then start taping off...
Once you have it taped, apply one light coat and sit for 5 minutes.
Now apply the other coates. Start with one coat, make it wet looking. Wait 30 minutes and apply another one. I did 3-4 coats on mine.
Once you have applied all the coats you want and let it dry for about 30 minutes. You can peel the tape and paper off. Just be careful around the emblem. Hobby knife works well to cut the Plastidip if you have to.
It will take about 4 hours to fully dry.
This stuff is great. Resists rock chips, and pretty much puts a rubber coating over the emblem. If you mess up or get tired of it, just peel it off.
Here are some other pics of the other emblems...
