Hood & Trunk rounded emblem change

Just wondering if anyone has changed out there rounded BMW hood and trunk emblem with entire new emblems or if it's best to just use the carbon fiber stickers? Experiences/ horror stories welcome.

PM me if you want details but I had custom roundels made by a company in Colorado. They look amazing. Not cheap, but the quality is top notch. They do a lot of work for the BMW community out there.

Sorry guys, here you go. Not sure if I have any of them installed will have to look around and get back to you. Had these made for my father's 2006 330CI, he's going to keep it forever then it will stay in the family. On the car they are not at all flashy, I haven't once had anyone notice them in all honesty, which was entirely the point. Didn't want a monogram on the door or trunk lid or anything like that. This is a photo from the shop before I even received them.

For what I wanted to accomplish it's perfect. They'll do literally anything you want and start with an OEM part as the "canvas." Been on there a number of years and still look great - but the car is rarely driven under 30k on it so the roundels haven't been beaten to hell. Put a coat of wax on when doing the rest of the car.

I had a great looking carbon fiber set (hood, trunk, wheels) for my E46 but can't find a good set for my M235. Right now I have carbon overlays but would prefer new emblems.

Purchased the entire set for my "F22" from JBSPEED, let's just say the product wasn't what they describe. Received a full refund. DONT BUY THESE! The front is two pronged on the set you purchase, ours is three as you can see in the pic. Also the wheel caps don't fit and have a weird light gray border that doesn't match.

Weird. Call Luftkraft Fab in Co. Wasn't sure if I could post since they're not a forum sponsor. They'll make whatever you want.

Think they charged me like $150 plus the cost of the roundel.
