Black '135i' badging - look straight and clean?
Did this myself yesterday... First time, took 45 minutes. Tried my best and I am confident it looks clean and straight. What do you guys think?

Sorry to say the 1 looks off. You can redo the 1 pretty easy though. Also the 5 looks a bit higher than the 3. Just being honest. The same thing happened to me when I did the shadows, and that is why I just went de-badged all together and I love the look and no dirt and crap to worry about cleaning out of the numbers.

Thanks Brad, appreciate the advice/honesty. That's what I was looking for. I see exactly what you're saying.... Agreed. I'll re-do the 1 and 5. And maybe then decide to debadge. Hahahahahah

It looks off when you look for it.. but to anyone just casually looking, or even taking a pretty up-close look, I don't think you'd notice the slight misalignment

I did use tape. Top, bottom and between the letters....
Not too worried. 7 people have seen it in person all of whom I asked to check to see if it looked straight and all said it did... I see myself that the 1 and 5 are not perfect, but they are off by 2-3mm. So no big deal |

Not a fan of the blacked out 135i... I kinda think people should keep it chrome or take it off... And if you take it off please no ///M Badge.......

Thanks for all the feedback everyone.
I did use a ruler and tape. And I was asking everyone if it looked straight, and not if you liked the look. I fixed the two letters and it's perfect now thanks to your help. |
