Yeah, not much of a gamble at 9 bucks. It would be a great deal if it works out.

Can you link me to the ones you bought? Thanks.

Get back to us next summer when they're all yellow and cracking and fading...just busting your balls brother

I hope it doesn't happen, but I AM curious with the hot summer months will do to them.

You might be able to Google some UV spray and wipe it over them- I think it's like two dollars a bottle.

Lol man im telling you my buddies emblems (wheels and roundels) have held up a whole summer pretty good. No signs of issues, he says that every time he waxes his car(every other month or so) he waxes them as well and they show no signs of deterioration.

I bet you even if the heat started getting to them applying a layer of a see thru vinyl(like a cell phone screen protector) would keep it from yellowing

Well the BMW ones look like shit after 1 winter, so the china ones are either the same or better than what bmw uses for less money!
