Opinion Please

Good day my fellow Californians,

so i just changed my emblems to CF and an M3 trunk lip done today. However, still confused with the OEM 335i badge. Let me know whether i should keep em' OEM, debadgged, or Shadow (black) emblem.

each of your opinion counts. Thanks for the input and have a nice day

I went with the shadow on mine and I love it, depends if you want to start blacking out your car.

planning to do Blackline LED Tail Lights smoked. Thus, i probably should go with the shadow huh?

Do what you like but I think its cheesy due to the fact that its easy and a low budget attempt "stand out" but they will say its "clean" and defend that to the death.

thus keep it OEM and/or debadgged right?

Geonator · 10-16-2010, 01:35 PM

First.. Get Black lines.

Then Keep the OEM ones..

TIAG is such a great color if done right.

Looks good. I love the M3 spoiler

Sebastian_e90 · 10-16-2010, 04:34 PM

My vote is for shadow emblems, especially if you intend to vinyl the roof as you had spoken of previously. It looks good with the black theme. If you don't intend to do that anymore then I'd say just take it off.

You should have added a poll to the thread.

shadow

Hankdoll · 10-16-2010, 07:10 PM

I prefer the debadged look. I'm not sure if something is wrong with me, but I love symmetry. 335 already has the symmetrical dual exhaust too. Perfect!

awei130 · 10-16-2010, 07:26 PM

debadge gets my vote!

c_jeong89 · 10-16-2010, 08:17 PM

debadge!

michaelthepsycho · 10-16-2010, 11:27 PM

Debadge and then rebadge with vinyl. Aerodynamics yo! While still keeping the back end interesting.

with vinyl? never seen one before. do you have pix for it? thanks

scrufy · 10-18-2010, 09:20 PM

I'm thinking of debadging mine as well. Hey if. You don't like it, then you could order the shadow, or even just paint your oem since it will be off anyway.
I was even thinking for a joke to put a 318i on mine lol

hipnotic · 10-18-2010, 09:45 PM

debadge it

ChasVS · 10-19-2010, 07:34 AM

Debadge and see how it works for you as you do other trim mods. If it looks too naked for you, then try th shadow badges.
