Opinion on emblem change vs vinyl decal

Hi everyone, I am interested in changing out my emblems with black and white carbon fiber look. I saw a review on youtube saying these are cheap chinese versions that dont look very good. The alternative is to put the vinyl decals on my current emblems. Does anyone experience with either and do you have a suggestion on whats better.

A really classy touch is to leave the original emblems in place and not make your car look tacky with carbon fibre anything 👍🏻

However, if the tacky look is what you're after, I saw someone who had replaced his bonnet (hood) and boot (trunk) with some blue led backlit ones. Your car will at least look fairly ok during the day and only embarrass you at night.

Damn you are very passionate about your opinions. Lol Thank you for your thoughts. I just didnt like the blue and the white part of the emblem. I really would like an all black version because i wanted to completely black out my car. Thought that maybe one of the carbon fiber emblems might look better than the black emblems. Heres a link:

I saw a youtube video however saying that these dont really look that good in real life. Just wanted to get a feel for what others thought here.

I didn’t get the steering wheel badge yet and pics are here. I bought a few things from him so I couldn’t tell you what he charged me.
