So I ordered the VSL Carbon Fiber emblems from Beastpower.com tuesday afternoon. Yesterday I emailed them to find out where my tracking information was and Lee from Beastpower.com got back to me promptly with my tracking information.

I later then checked the tracking status and to my surprise the package was not only already shipped out but only about 10 mins from my house at the USPS center. I did not purchase next day air, just normal ground. The package got to me today around 1pm. Everything was just as I ordered.

I installed them emblems today and took just a few pics, I think they look pretty good. Im not sure most people will notice unless your a bmw owner but maybe.

Yea the thing that I really liked about these emblems its that there are an actually replacement (not a sticker) So I have my old emblems as back up or I was thinking about getting them custom airbrushed ZHP in silver with black background, but that was just an idea I may or may not do way down the line. I wanna enjoys this a bit and get my money out of them. the whole set was a lil over $100. the sticker DIY was only like $20 but to be honest I didn't want to even spend 20 bucks to "maybe" have it look decent. I knew going with these it would look nice.

I agree with quik... very tasteful... I've not been a huge fan of the overlays but the complete replacements are nice. I'm considering the blue and white cf textured look for our AW E36. I'm now considering these for my black sapphire sedan...

Looks great. Next mods... CF splitter/lip spoiler (your choice), diffuser, interior trim, center console, intake, strut brace, valve covers, etc... You just started a fairly expensive mod list.

Looks great. I have those too. Is your steering wheel one a sticker, as I'm not aware of changing out the steering wheel roundel?

It's a roundel, that sticks to the old one.......yes.

looking great, and the CF steering wheel emblem should be a sticker, i hear removing the original emblem from the steering wheel can compromise the air bag

Dude you guys have no idea I.E steering wheel roundel, yes its a sticker that is met to go over the stock emblem, but when i test fit it, it stuck out a lot more then I thought so I thought maybe I read the website wrong and took a tiny flat head to my steering wheel. YIKES!!!! not a good idea. The stock roundel was coming up but the face of it was spider cracking like hell and I could tell just from about 2 seconds of prying on it that this would be very very hard and prob not the right thing to do so I took a small hammer and used this and my thumb to press down the area I tried getting up and just put the sticker over top. I had no other choice at this point. I haven't drove with this yet but from what I could tell the short bit I was in my car Im not to thrilled with how much it sticks out. I guess ill have to get used to it at this point lol

Its actually an emblem that sticks to the old one. Calling it a sticker really isn't accurate.
