Debadging

Hey everyone. I have a jet black e90 328xi, and I'm thinking about debadging. Its been 5 months with my car but I dont think it will look faded.

A. Do you think I should debadge. (Im not doing it so people think I have a 330 or something, since I paid extra for that xi and Im proud of it) Car looks cleaner

B. What should I do with the badges- I was thinking on the engine cover, any other good suggestions?

once you debadge, the badge is useless, it wont really "stick" on anything else.
Since you have Jet Black, and i only recommend this on jet black, is put shadowed badges if you want. they look very clean

I was gonna get some clue and make it re-sticky. I don't think shadowed emblems are for me because I just want the back of my car to look clean.

Definitely debadge. Especially on black, the rear will look clean. No chrome badges jumping out at you.

I debadged mine. I put the shadow badge on when I had a black/white theme going on..but I thought that the black badge stood out wayy too much on AW so I took it off. love it now.

What about pics of a jet black debadeged? Another reason I want to debadge is the 328 is not accurate, the engine is a 3.0 not a 2.8 but they didnt want to get previous 330 owners pissed off.
