agreed. How hard is it to put on the new badges and make them perfectly straight? stuff like this makes me go crazy...those badges on my white car with all the black in the back would look perfect. I really think im going to do shadowline too...no one say a word either 
edit: which means i will eventually do matte black grills because i will want the front to match the back. UGHHHHHH

just use a tape line like you did with the tails to border/outline the badge....use some waxed floss to debage the original chrome one...you can take a blow dryer to it to loosen up the adhesive if you want...just work the floss back and forth like a saw...the badge will come off...the badeges from bimmian come with double sided tape/adhesive...line them up with the tape you put on earlier..good to go
and the mods never-end

Where did you purchase the paint? Please post final pics. I may be interested in the same. Look forward to your final review.
How about we split it and do it on both of our cars? =D

you should definitely do the matte black grills, debadge or matte black 530 emblems and shadowline trim! and powdercoat your rims black! wow that will look hot! just a suggestion
