Finally got a hold of the murdered out BMW badges. I originally had canceled my order due to some comments on the price and personal buyers remorse. But I kept thinking about them and decided to keep the order this time. I'm pretty happy with them. May not be everyones taste but I like them. I also removed the trunk CF spoiler, because I just wasn't feeling it, it looked out of place. I kept the CF roof spoiler. More pics will come later, the car is currently in the garage drying after I applied some paint to a bunch of rock chips I had. Still have to wetsand and detail them, but the touchup painted worked wonders over how it looked already.

Heres a pic of the front badge, its kinda hard for the camera to pickup how they look.

I like!


However your car is soooo fricken clean that anything not up in tip top shape tends to stand out.


Do something about your fogs! I sanded and cleared mine and they look better than new.

Thanks for advise on the fogs, I tend to look at everything else and almost forgot about that. I'll work on them this week since I'm off all week What grit do you suggest for cleaning them? Do I need to take them off? I actually rarely even use my fogs, I have a really strange problem. I use a FM transmitter for my iphone since I don't have a aux. And when I'm listening to music and turn them on I get all this strange static. No idea what the heck that means.
