Stock Rear 328i Badge or Gloss Black

yerffejleahcim · 04-14-2012, 01:51 AM

I have been debating if i should keep my regular chrome 328i emblems or replace them with the gloss black to match my front M Grills once my car comes in.

Debadge?

J1n · 04-14-2012, 02:22 AM

I think the black looks amazing if you've got mineral white on order..

bl@ster · 04-14-2012, 02:47 AM

I like the contrast of the black badge. Go for it!

If you don't like the chrome ones, just take them off altogether.. the black just looks.. idk, not my taste lol =)

I like the black if you have a nice tint. Otherwise it looks a wee bit out of place.

justinnum1 · 04-14-2012, 09:19 AM

how much is the black and where do you get them? I wish mine came with those gloss blck

USC2000 · 04-14-2012, 11:16 AM

Go with black. If you decide later that you don't like it, you can always remove them.

SCBimmerKid · 04-14-2012, 01:02 PM

This may work for you...How about you plastidip your emblem to see if you like the color and if you like it, then you can splurge for the gloss black emblems?

ric124 · 04-14-2012, 01:16 PM

I want to do this too when I get mine!!! Do I paint these or can I just order the badges??

arnsbrae · 04-14-2012, 01:16 PM

I think the black looks cool on mineral white. The normal chrome digits are lost against the white car.

Yeah, I agree. But I think debadge is even better.

I watched a youtube video of the plastidip product being used to plastidip an entire vehicle along with seeing how easy it was to remove....Quite impressive if someone did not want to take the time and effort to do a vinyl wrap or commit to painting one's vehicle.

Thanks guys. I will be ordering the Gloss Black ones. I have always seen m3 owners change theirs to black. I am matching it up to my 35% tint, black mirrors, black grilles, and black exhaust tips. I will also be getting the lower part of the rear bumper wrapped with black vinyl. Once the performance lip spoiler comes out, i will be adding that too.

I will be ordering from JleviSW. They are $20.

Nice! thx

Chrome is classy. Black is too ghetto. In my opinion.

Ric, I think us who chose Sport like more black options/parts. Less or no chrome at all in our vehicles.
