Shadow Badge

SchwarzOpsAZ · 05-20-2009, 11:07 AM

I know I know debadging is the way to go, but I thought I'd try the Shadow badge. Here is a before & after shot for those that are interested.

Turns out I really like it, from a distance you can hardly see it. In the right lighting up close it looks like it is stamped/pushed out of the sheet metal since my car is black.

Looks very clean!

I am definately jockin' it.

It doesn't look bad. Are u going for the "blacked out" look? If so, you should change the bmw roundels to black/white or CF. I still think a black car looks better debadged or with stock 335 emblem.

Looking very good...funny enough I am doing the same to my SG later today because they just came in from Bimmian yesterday. Makes me feel a little more confident in my decision to go Blackline when the majority of folks on here are in the corner of debadging from what I've seen thus far.

I like it, works really well if you do the blackout theme too.

UdubBadger · 05-20-2009, 01:09 PM

mine looks similar (I have Jet Black) but I think yours looks better.

nice job

Looks great on black

bspaceman · 05-20-2009, 03:19 PM

I was won over not only by pics on our boards, but I also saw one on a Porsche and it looked great against the black. I will definitely be adding this to the list!
