m 50 jahre emblem or not

Hi all

Just trying to get a feel on it.

Personally, I like it as a collectable. However, it doesn't hurt to put some additional color on the emblem to make the car stands out from the rest.

I paid for them on my build...
Leaning on swapping back to stock.
Roundel is too small to the overall size of the car.
The wheels are even worst in size

It's different and definitely catches ones eyes.
Not sure in which camp I'm in - good different or just bleh

Too busy for me personally at least for my black ride. Perhaps better on different colors?

At first I thought it was really cool, but now I agree with both of those statements above- the roundel is too small, and it looks "busy."

I thought about buying the new roundels but haven't yet.

I think they look good on white/blue or red cars on other colors not so much, I have arctic grey (I think same as OP)

I asked IND if they planning to start painting them (silver on the outer side in to gloss black) (they painted one set and told me it was PIA) if they do I might consider trying them out.

currently happy with my IND set as is

I concur about the color as well. On my Tanz. Blue/Red Caliper, it does FLOW.
As a matter of fact, I generally don't use the standard state issue license plate and it's bleh (white) and go with a different custom license. I think I actually might run with the standard white plate as it -flows- with the chassis for now.

They might work on a white car but in general I agree with others that the roundel portion looks too small and too much going on. I would pay extra to have the standard roundel honestly.

To each their own, but I'd skip it and stick with the standard roundel.

This. Definitely looks so much better on a white car.
