Has anyone used "custom" colored roundels

Has anyone used this product before? All it seems to be is just vynil. Does it look cheesy?

Yep, I've seen 'em......yep, cheesy in the extreme. Messing with the Roundel is like defacing the flag.

IMHO, I like the carbon fiber type. I have seen then on many cars, and depending on the color of your car and the color you pick, I think it can be done nicely. I have been told that it streches if you try to take it off and re apply. I would say to have some extras just in case. Get enough to do all rondels ( even the on on the stearing wheel ).

I like the carbon fiber roundels. However, I do admit that every time I see a bimmer with colored roundels, it reminds me of Honda's with those red "H" badges.

I've got black full roundel replacements. I made sure to burn a flag right after I put them on.

Prefect! Good color difference between the two and the colors go extremely well with the color of the car. Someone spent a lot of time and very meticulous work on that one.:rocks: Personal bling, I love it. I assume you did do them all?

IMHO the colored ones do not match the cars very well. Now if they had carbon fiber in colors that might work better.

I guess for me its the solid colors I have and issue with.

Its sorta like the orange turn signals and the reflectors.

intgr8r has black and white roundels that I've seen in person, and they look really good. Very personalized-looking ride. They look OEM to me.

I agree, for once, with takedown8. I have, also, seen inTgr8r's ride and they look very nice. However, if they were red - on his car I would not admit to knowing him.

The carbon fiber roundels look like something we used to find in cereal boxes.
Those things are just toooooooo twinky.

I like the black roundels on a black car a lot. It delivers the message without a distracting blue spot. Very suave.

I can't imagine it working as well with any other color.

The place where I bought my black-and-white CF roundel kit also offered red and blue. I haven't installed them yet.

Well, there is that one above. I think I have one of the steering wheel... let me see.

Ah.

Sorry I don't have anything closer; you know most people looking at the car don't even notice the black badges, kind of weird.
