Chrome F30 Emblem at the back

What do you guys think about this ? Would it look good on an Imperial Blue, luxury line ?

I personally prefer the completely de-badged look as it is cleaner (IMO) and makes detailing easier. That said, do something because it makes you happy, not because others will or will not think it's cool.

I debadged mine and I love it. Smooth flat easier to clean.

No, in my opinion.
Not sure why you would want the chassis number on the back of the car to be honest...

Looks pretty crap too (my apologies also) on the picture.

BUT, I'd rather see this than see an M badge on it. Although, that does add 15hp in fairness...

Absolutely, it'll look awesome, but only if you also accompany it with some other cool badges, like "TURBO", "modern", "Luxury","sport", and maybe throw in a "GTR" for good measure.

Funny.

And hell no don't put that thing on your car. It's douchey....seriously man...no.

The only thing of that nature that should be added to a car is a Nurburgring stick if you drove it on the Nurburgring.

There should be no badges at the back - hence, adding another one just smacks of bad taste.

Thank you.

I do disagree though, even a Nurburgring sticker is douchey. (for me it falls in the same category as the rest of my comment.)

I think on the imperial blue it would be too much chrome at the back. On the white car its more subtle . Anyway I decided to keep it clean No need for lots of chrome at the back

if your going to add the f30 emblem... dont forget a “turbo” emblem and M emblem.. maybe a “sport” emblem too lol.

If you want to add it go ahead man it is your car, but IMHO I think it will look cluttered.
