Default Carbon Fiber Emblems

i found these and think they are pretty cool. they are real carbon fiber and i can get the nose emblem with or without the bowtie. i think they will flow better with my car them stainless ones, and i dont really car for the factory ones. so what do you think?

I think I remember seeing a carbon fiber nose emblem turn orange due to sunlight exposure.

You can't pull it off with your color. You would need to put those on a red, hugger orange, or pewter car. Green and gunmetal is not a good color combination because there is very little contrast. That car needs silver or chrome in that order of preference. The nose emblem is a no regardless of what color you have.

Probably the same performance gains you would get by getting a red car over a white one, or black wheels. Don't be stupid! Not everything has to up numbers

Go for it if you like it. The factory nose emblem is ugly as hell.
