I stand corrected they are a little different. Thanks for showing us so others can see how similar they are.

Just take them off and use some flat black spray paint on them. I did that with one of the "S"'s and put it as a replacement of the rear "H" emblem and sprayed it flat black. Looks really good imo.

Now that you have two sets of emblems, I agree with others, just spray paint it. I've seen other owners do this and it has turned out great!

Someone try using that paint they use to spray taillights, VHT nightshades. That should make it darker while still haveing the chrome reflection. But it would be much darker then these badges.

I was confused after I saw the new emblems

I installed OEM CR emblems on my Rio and they look a lot better
