Conufed about aftermarket/badging

[m3f_rhscare]

Well Ive been learning from this board, as well as searching on the net but still want some opinions as far as badging goes. I know this sounds simple and unimportant but Im just curious. I feel if you are going to put a companies badge on your decklid, it should be the one you have invested the most with, or at least bought the most stuff from. I like how you need to earn it from dinan, which is a great idea, but what I seem to hear from people is that you are more or less paying for the name. Anyone agree? UUC seems to have a great stuff, people seem to like at, and the page definitly makes more sence than ACS. Anyone out there have a UUC badge? If thats where I end up buying the most stuff, seems like thats the badge I should have. What if you mix and match companies alot? ACS's badge rocks (especially the grill one) but I dont want it if I dont spend the most with em. I've seen people stick their badges on their car when they have zero mods on em.



I know this all sounds petty but me as a pre-M3 owner, I'm suppose to sound like a new guy that doenst care about the right stuff...right? I mean, you veterans need someone to pick on.

does uuc have a badge? i've only seen stickers which they include with all orders. most of my mods are from all different vendors....so no badge for me.

Personally I think when you put a badge on your car it's a statement that I used this company and you might not be able to see the mod but it's there.........but I'm not a person that'll rag on someone who got a badge cause they liked the look and have no mods...........so really its up to you........... Do what ever you want.......it's your car



Roadrunner here's the link for the uuc badge.....scroll the the bottem to see it.......it's 15 bucks

ahh, i see. thanks Crazzym3. i have to agree badge or no badge, it really doesn't matter. personal preference.

I agree, just like debadging a car. I am all for debadging, or badging down...



I was considering an AA badge on my car, but I think it would draw a bit too much attention (The Dakar yellow blends in so well as it is)

In europe they go to great pains to debadge. You dont know if your racing a 525i or 540 I saw a lot of 7's with no badge.

this is just me.. but I debadge all my cars... I don't even leave the emblem to tell what model or trim level it is... to ME it just looks cleaner when theres no badging.. I don't put any stickers or anything else on the car.. I like the stock look and prefer to spend my money on mods but still retain a stock look so people don't know what their up against and think its just a regular car..



its all personal taste.. if you like badging and stickers cool.. for me.. I prefer to have it all off and have a sleeper..
