After my first black car I swore this to myself as well - NO more black cars.....and now I've got two (although the metallic black is a little lower maintenance)

JMO, but the quality looks a little suspect.
The tricolour bars look like a sticker.

would look good on white or red car.
A bit much at $45!
You could try and make the stock badge like this using flat black paint. Hmm I have the M bagdes from the side. I may try it this weekend.

If you think about it our cars onl have chrome on the kidney grill and M badge.

Im testing these badges on the side for now.
Easy to reverse.

I tried sanding the chrome of the stock badge and it did scuff up.
Problem is the area around the tricolor stripe is still chrome and would be too much work to scuff and paint flat black.

Probably eaiser to spend the $45 and buy them.

But as I was scuffing the chrome bardge it first looked like brushed aluminum as I was rubbing it with 100 grit sandpaper.

So if anyone wants aluminum look badge..thats easy.
Just don't over scuff it.
