M2 Badge

My inbound car is BSM with black kidney grilles, carbon fiber mirror caps, carbon fiber diffuser, gloss black side gills, so pretty much black everything.
Would you change the M2 rear badge from chrome? Maybe black chrome from IND? Gloss black might be as stealth as de-badge. Thoughts? Pictures?

If you don't have the MPE with the carbon fiber tips then I think the stock chrome matches well with the stock exhaust. I'm also ordering BSM but planning on just having the black front grills. I actually do like the side chrome grills as it compliments the stock mirrors.

how did that turn out? It was suggested by IND that the black chrome would look better on a BSM however, from what i have searched on the internet, im not sure what kind of finish i could expect with plastidip...i assume its basically gloss black correct?

I would rather go your route since yes, $100 plus shipping is rather steep for just a badge (i understand that IND has to buy an OEM one so that is why the price is what it is...)

MG badging

I want to change out the chrome badging soon after picking up my MG. I'm torn between all three of IND blacks (chrome, flat, gloss). Any suggestions from MG owners? Pics? Thanks much!

Hey guys, I just had IND do up a set of BMW badges painted 100% in matte black. They are currently en route so once they arrive I can post some pictures. I went the auto dip route the first time and didn't like the finished product hence why I am trying it this way. I did post some pictures in another thread of how they looked.

Here's a picture of my BSM with gloss black badge from IND. You basically can't see it, which is what I was going for.

I went with all gloass black trimmings. Looks great. The only thing annoying me was the tiny m2 badge on the front grille. since that is attached to the grille, i actually wrapped it with gloss black vinyl.

Any pics of the gloss black trunk badge? I'm curious how the gloss black grill badge looks against the grill too.

Here's my MG with the gloss black IND badge. This is just after I installed the black F8X exhaust tips too, so I'm now all blacked out with the exception of the front badge. I'm torn on that one anyway, since it would be basically invisible if it was black. Curious to see how it looks, though.

I'll try to remember to snap pics tomorrow after I get the car cleaned.
