re-badge?

has anyone that has de-badged re-badged? I finally de-badged to be cool , and i think it looks kind of weird without the 325i, and for some reason, cheap.

Im thinking of re-badging, because it seems incomplete for some reason. Or maybe I should get the acs kit and put ACS3.0 on it, i think that looks cool

you have the full ACS kit, you should put the ACS 3.0 on the back, it looks cooler than 330/325 imho. Like that black one on here, that dood from Sweden or whatever, his car is HOTT.

well, that and some chick this past weekend asked me what happened to my emblem. i didn't have the time to explain to her that i'm into modding and that debadging is common, and all this, so i just said, "it came like that. you can get it from the dealer like that." i don't know why i blurted that out, but i did.

I agree it looks hot, I prefer nothing back there though.

tl_boy: when you decide to rebadge, please do up a DIY noting especially, the exact positoning of each character/badge.

I'd do a pic with referencing, but if he's gonna try and do it might as well help this lazy ass guy (and others similar) with a nice DIY

Just measure it before you take it off. I'm thinking about debadging.

i didn't measure anything, and i cleaned the back completely. I"ll have to ad lib it now, or maybe go to the dealer and try to measure it off a car there. or, maybe i'll get a 3 and a 0 and get instant horsepower!

Actually thinking of step one first (debadging) but I generally don't like to do things on cars, I know I can't easily reverse on my own I am very fickle-minded

i have the opposite feeling. when i look at pics i took when i still had my badges on, i almost wanna photoshop them out of the pics. the car's rear looks a lot better clean, in my opinion.
