carbon wheel emblem

[Mtnman]

So, i already have a carbon emblem on the hood, now i finally got one for the trunk. BUT, i also got the steering wheel emblem. i think it makes the interior. before and after.

D, how many attachments should there be there? One of them is invalid.

[pyreguy]

Is that just an applique that goes over the stock emblem?

[Marcus-SanDiego]

It should be. I do not know anyone who sells a replacement (too dangerous with airbag).

just two. i can repost. yes, it is an overlay, not a replacement. here is the carbon overlay, if photobucket really works. we'll see!

That looks really good. I refuse to replace my roundels on the outside of the car on principal (I have a few here and there :biggrin) but I think that's tits on the inside like that. Really brings the black on black theme together. Kinds like the dude's rug. I was getting a couple things from Khoalty so I will add this to the order if he has them.

[jjcools]

Call up Mark's boy Khoalty, he may be able to get some for you. Worth a shot.

[Mtnman]

that rug really tied the room together. and, donnie, your out of your element!

I understand the principal of the exterior roundels, but man, the CF black looks so good on the dark grey.....

[Marcus-SanDiego]

I'm pretty sure that Khoa sells those, too. Don't forget to mention ZHP Mafia as your referral.

I'm thinking my peeps here will also get a little more love because of the affiliation.

We're going to do some good things with Khoa in 2011.

[Mtnman]

thats where i got mine from

Good cause I hope to get me some tails and clear corners in early 2011. Thanks Khoa! Sick prices!

[pyreguy]

I ordered the steering wheel emblem, the LED kit for the interior and some yellow fog light bulbs. I didn't see a referral section, so I just put zhp mafia in the comments and hopes he sees it.

Who knows, I may get a wild hair one day and order the front, rear, and center cap roundels in blue carbon fiber one day. I won't rule that out yet.

[Marcus-SanDiego]

Yeah. You just mention it in the comments section. He sees every order.

I've seen the carbon fiber roundels he sells in blue. They're pretty nice, actually. Haven't seen the overlay, though.

My ZHP had the CF emblem on the steering wheel when I bought her.

It looks great, and it's had me thinking about CF for the hood/trunk emblems as well.



If I go CF splitters and grills, I'll most likely go that route.

[Mtnman]

i love walking up to my car and seeing that CF black emblem on the hood. Just the subtle clue that she has some mods (outside the ZHP of course). its just sexy. Do it and you wont regret.

That interior looks great, Keith. Dang nice.

[Mtnman]

i agree. the m pedals and the silver aluminum set it off with the CF black wheel piece. tight.

[Marcus-SanDiego]

Agree. It really ties in nicely.

[kayger12]

Thanks, guys. I'm not going to lie-- sometimes I just walk out into the garage, open the car door, and smile.....







Then my wife walks out and asks me why I'm, "Staring at the inside of a parked car like a lunatic."

She's a great girl but she certainly knows how to ruin a moment...

[Mtnman]

if she only knew......

[pyreguy]

Do you ever miss your cup holders? I have been going back and forth about getting the storage tray like you have...

[Marcus-SanDiego]

I like the Euro tray. I would not miss the cup holders, since I don't want anyone drinking in the car.

Well, we understand, Keith. We understand.

[kayger12]

Not really-- The PO had an auxiliary input added and they ran the wire into the storage tray so my MP3 player is in there. I've only had a cup of coffee in the car twice since I've owned it, and I ended up just sitting the cup in the storage tray and closing the sliding door up against the cup to keep it in place. For as often as I have a drink in the car, I can get by with that.

Looks cleaner than the cup holders imo.

[pyreguy]

Oh, that's a good idea! I think that's putting me over the edge. That will be one of my next purchases. I definitely agree that it looks WAY cleaner than the cup holders...

I was looking for an emblem set that was black and white, but not carbon fiber. It's been difficult to find.

Swear I saw those somewhere-- Bav Auto, maybe? If I remember I'll let you know.

[Marcus-SanDiego]

JB, have you checked with Khoa? I know that he has had black and white before.

[pyreguy]

Like this (http://www.khoalty.com/bmw-e46/exterior-14/bmw-roundel-replacement-black-1)?

[kayger12]

Found something on Bav Auto but Khoa's setup looks better. BA only sells vinyl decals that you put over the existing emblem.

[Tampa330i]

Khoa does have them, but it's not exactly what I'm looking for. The pictures for http://www.khoalty.com/universal-accessories/bmw-roundel-replacement-black-2 looks great, but one important thing is missing: BMW. Maybe those pictures are some kind of generic representation and the roundels really do have the lettering on them, I don't know. I'm having trouble finding a non-carbon fiber black roundel with the BMW letters on it. Basically identical to the OEM blue one, but with black instead of blue.

If I end up replacing one - I'll have to do all 7. Hood, trunk, steering wheel, and 4 wheels.

[Mtnman]

Pretty sure just the pics don't have the bmw on them. The cf ones are the same in the images on the site, but def have the bmw lettering on them in person.

[Marcus-SanDiego]

I'll get Khoa to come over here and answer that question definitively, guys.

If Khoa's don't work out...here is another option for you...to make your car...your own.

[pyreguy]

The site says that the pictures are just a representation of color. I took it as he can't be throwing up the BMW logo on his site without getting in some sort of trouble, but the actual emblems will say BMW.

I saw a set of roundels that were white and pink on this chicks car at the shop one day and I always wondered where she got them. They looked just as nice as the stock ones. Very high quality stuff here.

[KHOALTY]

They all have BMW lettering on there. We took them
Out to show what it look likes so we don't get in trouble.

[Marcus-SanDiego]

Thanks, Khoa. We were curious.

See ya at the party tonight.

[Mtnman]

You bringing us all with you to the party tonight, marcus? Or are u going to risk life without the ipad for a night? Lol

[pyreguy]

You should send us pictures every so often of the party so we can all feel like we're there too!

[Marcus-SanDiego]

One, I will have the iPad. Trust me.

Two, I will take pictures. You never know who might show up to one of Shane's parties.

Awesome! Thanks for confirming this.

I'll check this out as well. I'm still not 100% if I want to change the beloved blue and white, but if I do it'll be black and white. I saw black and red the other day, that would look interesting.
