Not available as an OEM-option, but maybe some aftermarket options on eBay?

I second Billnchristy...Plastidipping the badge is so easy to do, and looks oem.

Any idea how this works with jet washing and general washing? Does it last long? |

They sell a smoke color which just darkens everything, I bet it would look good.

Yeah I'm going to try the smoke one. I'm wondering how long this stuff lasts though. Like surely if it just peels off when you wash the car it just comes off too?

Nope, I smoked my wife’s grille because it was chrome and looked stupid and it’s just showing age 2 years later.

my matte black plastip coating on badges lasted over 3 years without any noticeable fade/peel.. Even if it did, you could do another single coat.
I did two coats originally. With a few hours in between to dry.

You can just paint the badge yourself. You just need to de-chrome it. Otherwise the paint will flake off eventually. You can do this in a couple days using bleach and then ammonia... but not both at the same time of course as it will create poisonous fumes. Google how to de-chrome a badge... plenty out there on this topic.
