roundel opinion

wanted to see what your opinions were on different roundels.

I have a e92 AW M3 with CF roof, black oem GTS rims, and a bunch of CF accessories:
-gills
-grills
-mirror caps
-hood vents
-front lip
-rear diffuser

..now would it be overkill to go with CF roundels all around? or should I do just black emblems or even leave the stock?

I have already changed the back M3 emblem to matte black, might change it to gloss black...let me know what you think!

If your asking for opinions I prefer stock roundels and badges/emblems..

i agree to an extent as well. my e46 is blue so the OEM is perfect but this car doesn't have a hit of blue. my M is AW ext with FR int and black/CF added throughout. that's why I've been tossing around the idea.

thanks for your opinions. I guess I need to search for more pics with aftermarket roundels to figure out if I'm going to change them or not.

There are a lot of people on here who have CF Roundels and most vendors sell them.

Really up to you though if you want to swap them out its your call. IMO I just like to leave them as is, regardless of mods and colors...

i prefer them oem as well, but in ur case, i don't think it'd be overkill since u already hav all those cf parts.

as 4 the m3 badge, i'd change it 2 gloss black.
