shiggy · 02-17-2007, 02:39 AM

hey gang,
check these out.....what do you think this would look like on my black saph 335i?
also thinking about tinting tail lights.....thoughts?

ctgazer · 02-17-2007, 02:47 AM

ask picus...he's got these on his 335i coupe already...

I'm not a huge fan of swapping emblems for c/f ones

I think it kinda degrades the car really, but they thats my perspective. As for the rear taillight tints, there is someone with that on the forum. To me, it kinda hides the tail lines, making the car have more of a rounder look

personally, i would not touch your car, its already beautiful! Save the money for Xede

:rocks:

+1 to the smoking lights. I've seen one, and if you wanna rice the car out, feel free, but it really degrades the BMW look.

I was considering the c/f emblems too cuz i saw one on a jet black and b/s, and it looks okay, but i dunno. I'm trying my hardest to keep my car untouched lol.

Not a big fan, but looking good

shiggy · 02-17-2007, 11:08 AM

thx for the comments...much appreciated

I was planning on putting the cf emblems on my AW 335 too. But then, when I got my car, I liked how the blue/white Ontario license plate matched the BMW emblems above, so I decided not to order the cf replacements. BC also has blue/white plates, correct?

cm3rc · 02-17-2007, 01:21 PM

i like those

picus · 02-17-2007, 01:35 PM

I had cf for a bit, just wanted to try it. I found it to be a little distracting when you were close to the car so I swapped to solid white/black and like that better. I mostly did it because I did a black out grille and am painting the bumper mesh black. If I was leaving the mesh silver and the grille chrome I'd leave the emblems blue/white.

The rear roundel on the coupe is different from all other BMWs, so imo you're better off just getting a vinyl for it until someone comes out with an actual replacement that fits. Right now a 73mm will fit, but it won't sit flush on the car.

GuyOh · 02-18-2007, 01:48 AM

no to the tinting taillights but i'm digging those cf emblems

shiggy · 02-18-2007, 11:22 AM

i agree guyoh....to me, they look sweet....
the last thing i want to do is "asianize" my bimmer....but those emblems are hot!!
With the black paint, tinted windows...think it will look hot!
ill try the taillight tint..if it looks hokey...ill take it off.
cheers, shiggy

wrxfool · 02-18-2007, 11:35 AM

For the tail light tint, I have found something that might be good, you have the option of 17% or 30% tint. Not too dark and probably will look good.

hi guys,
i tried searching for info but came up empty....i just received my new CF roundels and need to know the steps to install the front hood emblem....got the trunk done without scratching the crap out of the trunk...but the hood looks tight and im afraid of killing the paint....anyone with advise how to install?

j|rz44 · 04-06-2007, 03:16 AM

if those are the ones i got... dont do it..
you cannot swap out the boot...
unless those were made especially made for the e92!
