Possibly I was thinking of paint matching all the trim pieces and doing the emblems in a different color, if not I personally think the silver emblems compliment the trim quite well! Just a couple pennies from me!

De badging is for BMW owners who bought a 518 but want you to think that it is a 540.

Rebirth...
First, I'll start with a "Thank you" to my beautiful wife who hesitantly supports my materialistic hobby and bought me the JDM badge for Christmas. (No pics, but I know you'll ask anyway.)

I was all set to find some time to wash her up and wax her down (the car) in order to change the name to what it should have been, when *BAM*. I got hit by a Tahoe on Jan 2 when they moved into my lane as I tried to go around them.

Anyway, fast-forward a month and a half to a fresh new coat of paint and a refinished wheel later, and viola! A Legend is born.




The carnage:


Fresh paint:


For those interested in the badge:


And what the hell, my wife.

Thanks Heavy - reminds me of the many days when filming Oceans 12, Lake Como, gallons of Nastro-Azzurro with mozzarella for dinner. I just don't remember seeing 007's wife though but that could have been the beer!

Looks great. I've contemplated debadging and would probably do that, leave the "A" and the "SH-AWD" badges.
