Is It Worth The Trouble?

I have been debating on whether or not I should get the 7 Piece Carbon Fiber Emblem Set, but I also did some research on installation and heard they are very difficult to replace. Is it worth the money to buy this mod if I will just have trouble and risk destroying my original pieces? btw my car is a lease so it will all have to be changed back before my lease is up. Thanks for the help.

lol wth? whatsup w/ that last part "trade your shit in for a 335i", a bit rude.


and to the OP, if you don't plan on keeping your car after the lease, then I suggest not doing that mod, I mean it ain't hard to convert back but, thats just me.

I dont think it would look good. Only time I saw one like that was on a black 5 series. He was a guest at my hotel, and I talked with him about them. They were red instead of blue. It looked alright (something I would never do) but was something different.

However, he was an NC State fan... so naturally it was terrible.

The CF roundels look great on a Black E92! It's quite easy to take them off and you can do it without damaging them. There's even a suction puller tool sold by a couple vendors that make it a snap! The only one that is held on by 3m tape and grommets it the trunk badge. That one needs to be heated with a hair dryer to soften the tape before it can be pried off. Really, they look great!
