I got similar carbon ones and they went yellow after a couple of months.

I bought one when I had Z3 MCoupe. On the front straight at NJMP I saw something fly by. I was surprised to find out that the badge was still there, but the actual colored section is an adhesive sticker and it just stripped away.

maybe I'll coat is with some ultra-violet epoxy or something so it doesn't strip away. thx for the info.

I bought one on a whim from Khoalty and have had it on for a year withough any issues. It's kind of a little ricer IMO but my friend wants one so I leave it on to flaunt in her face.

fyi, I should have searched further, but the 82mm doesn't fit the hood for our z4s. IIRC its a 70mm only and aren't available on ebay... at least the regular black/white ones aren't. I think standard and carbon fiber are though.

I bought an ///M badge for my grille.
The light blue stripe is more of a sea foam green, and the "chrome" is starting to come off the M.
But to the untrained eye from 10+ feet, it looks good enough to justify the $3.

Has anyone tried clear coat the badges before put it on so it won't fade as much?
