Default opinions on painting emblems and decals

Well guys, I have heard opinions on these matters, but not from Z owners. What are your thoughts on putting decals on your car (if you have the parts installed of course). I was thinking about putting the decals Stillen gave me as well as the370z.com's decal on it once i become a premium member. nothing huge, just small ones, probably in the rear quarter panels.

Also, has anyone thought about painting their emblems (370Z, Nissan) flat black? I saw it one a few cars and they looked pretty good on the darker colors.

btw I have a PG w/sport package.

I thought those only fit the front and NOT the back.

I cant get myself to put any decals on my car. However, I do have a "bullydog" decal on the back window of my truck (have a bullydog programmer) cause it just looks so damn cool...

Thanks for the replies so far! I am definitely on the fence about it too. I guess itll go decal-less for now. I havent gotten my plates yet, so the Stillen Racing License plate cover is there for now...
