Exclamation Carbon Fiber Emblem for the 235i F23 HELP!

Okay so i bought these cheap sets on ebay. you guys know what im talking about.

When i took the emblem off the hood.. it was a triple pin in the middle and not a 2 pin on the sides emblem..

So what i need to know is.. anybody know where i can get some cheap carbonfiber bmw emblems for the hood and trunk?

Also the trunk.. I noticed that the emblem in the back is bigger then then common trunk emblem sold in the set.

So what is the size of the emblem do i need for the trunk and also is it a 3 middle pin same as the Hood emblem or is it a 2 pin?

Thanks in advance

Google “Nelson racing wheel”.
They have tons of pictures on their instagram as well.

Not sure what your definition of “cheap” is but you tend to get what you pay for with carbon fiber.

carbon stickers

I got an assortment of carbon stickers from ebay.
Wheels, hood, trunk and steering wheel.
I had to do a little trimming but they look great!
Note, although they have been on the car for two years, the car has only been washed twice by hand. Probably woundn't make it through a few power washes.
They are cheap enough to replace a lot.

I went the same route. I think I got mine on Amazon for $8-10. Did the wheels, front, and rear emblems, as well as the steering wheel. I did the CF and white look. I may switch it up to CF and blue this spring. Decals have lasted on everything except the hood emblem. I've replaced those a few times in 1.5 years.

All 6, or just trunk and hood? I wanted to go with actual emblems, but couldn't find anything I was confident in the quality of based on reviews.

All of them. But I guess I'm the only one. Cause most people where no help I had to bite the bullet and try it.

I promise you that "clear coat" won't do anything because there is no UV protection. They will fade in 18-24 months but probably sooner if you live in an area with a lot of sun year 'round. It happened on my E92 and my current F22.

I bought the ones from eBay. The thing is the front Hood you have to just stick the overlay on top of the original because it's a 3 pin. As far as it lasting. I don't keep cars longer then 2 years so I'm fine
