I know, I can see from the pic it a finish car mod.
maybe on your next car.
I know I will go quad pipes next time on my next car.

 

Do what you like ...

 

he is asking advice / opinion not telling him what to do.

 

That IS his advice / opinion....did you already clock up 2000 posts over at the Honda S2000 forum so soon ?

 

no not yet still working hard

 

Be your own man, if it floats your boat, just do it!

Having seen what some people do to their cars, this is a small piece of artistic licence, if you put it on don't go looking for races or traffic lights burn ups, it could be a tad embarrassing.

 

If one cares about others saying about putting ///M badge on the tail, he/she should marry a wife/husband that please everybody here
I just do whatever my wife and I wants, and I just want to share whatever I've done to my car and share my knowledge here as much as I can
I don't like bashing people and hurt their feeling That's not called either friend or E60 family, but that's called "STUPID"
Please warm and comfort them as much as we can. Whatever he likes to do, encourage him as long as he's not doing stupid thing like updating CIP by himself, etc.
Putting an ///M badge, Hamann, ACS, and Dinan is fine as. Does it mean that the person is Hamann, ACS, and Dinan wannabe?
If some theory that putting some badge on and makes him a wannabe, that might not be the case. For example, If ones has Dinan badge on his trunk, does it mean that his car has to be Dinan purely? How do you define that? What about Hamann, etc.?
I think putting ///M badge on is just make that car looks nice to his eye. To me, it looks nicer than debadged or 550i, etc.
Putting on M-tech kit, M5 mirrors, 166/167 rims would be consider M wannabe. Why "M wannabe"? Because "stuffs from M looks nice". Same with ///M logo which from M and looks nice.

Anyway, all I wants from all E60 member is that providing support and encourgement if one wants to do something for his car, but, please, never bashing. This board an excellent reputation for courteous and gentle, so please keep it that way, and avoid leading this board becoming a second "Roadfly"

 

I drive a 520d which I am delighted with and see no merit in de-badging. However I have often thoutht that if I ever owned a more powerful e60 (eg 535i) I would consider de badging to avoid unwanted attention from greasy fingered car thieves. The 520i is identical to 535i cosmetically but a lot less attractive to a thief would would most likely expect a de bagded car to be a lowly powered model with ideas above it's station. Just a thought, would anyone consider down-badging for this reason?

 

I don't think anybody has been even a little discorteous on this thread. But if you ask for people's opinion you should expect to receive it even when it does not support your intentions.

 

This is my ADVICE for him.

I will never be stupid saying what others must do. It is a matter of choice. Do what turn you happy and satisfy.
