I know they have processing costs, but come on! I felt the same way when I ordered my matte black 530i emblems from Bimmian and they charged me $8 for shipping. They came in a business-sized envelope with a Pitney-Bowes stamp that read $.44. :thumbsdown:

Forget the dealer they are a ripoff, maybe a local "pick-ur-part"? It's worth a shot. For a newbie, you did pretty damn well with the edges from what I can see, it looks good.
