Black and white BMW emblems. I am happy with the way they look on a white car. Did the truck and need to do the wheels today. What y'all think?

Edit: I did this with black vinyl coving the blue parts.

Mine is matte black instead of gloss. Both the wife and I love the black and white look. Especially beautiful on a white car. I'm contemplating getting gloss black vinyl instead but I like the matte and gloss combo on my car.

Oh nice. I bet the matte looks great too.

Looks like you did a great job - well executed! The only thing you may want to consider is allowing the inner silver circle to penetrate the black that you have put in place.

Just my 2-cents (and only because you asked for opinions) we all see things different

Here's a pic of what I mean with yours on the left

Thank you! But now I'm tempted to re-do it in gloss black after seeing your pic.

That's the awesome part, you can change it up as much as you like. I'm thinking about getting some matte vinyl myself. 😀

I agree. On my car, the front and rear reflectors and the blue parts of the roundels are all matte black. The applique surroundings on the bumpers (front and rear) are gloss back. So it kinda goes well and doesn't look out of place. I need a gloss black trunk lid spoiler and (hopefully) a front splitter for the sport line bumper and it'll be complete. Just the rims and window trims left.

There are bits of matte and gloss in mine as well. I'm gonna wrap the window trim black soon.

I plastidipped mine with black and then glossifier. Came out stunning but I messed it up while remove the tape. Pulled bits of plastidip off of every trim and pissed me off. I ripped the entire thing off. But it came out much much better than I expected (didn't expect glossifier to work but it did). Taping the car up was the worst part and ripping it out after the plastidip dried was the worst mistake. Would've redone it if taping was easy but nope. No patience for that now.
