Just looked tacky to me. I appreciate the clean look of the white.

As a previous Alpine White owner, I prefer the clean look. Too many logos can ruin a beautiful car like this.

Haha yea was not trying to come off as "I need others to make my decision". I was removing them either way I was just curious on the takes on the comparison.

Cheers!

I have seen them last week and the vinyl stickers were damaged I guess because of small pebbles or whatever. Although I do like them I like it without as well. Imho you did not make a mistake and you can always keep them on one side

ByeFelicia · 03-12-2019, 11:09 AM

Looks better off.

CanAutM3 · 03-12-2019, 11:40 AM

Look cleaner and better without

gatorfast · 03-12-2019, 11:43 AM

Def better without sticker

boglehead · 03-12-2019, 01:17 PM

Just finished the other side...should have done this sooner. Looks so clean now!

Humdizzle · 03-12-2019, 01:36 PM

definitely looks better.

G4BR13L · 03-12-2019, 01:59 PM

Awesome car!

NYBulldog · 03-12-2019, 02:49 PM

So much better.

henrylee · 03-12-2019, 03:07 PM

Should have done it earlier. They look bad on cars

AW BMW · 03-12-2019, 03:22 PM

Should have ordered the car with out them unless that's how you found it on the lot. Only plus the vinyl had was keeping rock chips off that area they covered, and that's about it. It really does look so much better with the clean look as others are saying.

Dimitri · 03-12-2019, 04:07 PM

I think the car looks much better without them, they are tacky imo, I prefer the cleaner look

RIM3 · 03-12-2019, 06:55 PM

Looks much cleaner now.

khanyam4 · 03-12-2019, 07:27 PM

Those m performance vinyl are garbage. You did it right be removing it.

clutchdj · 03-12-2019, 07:49 PM

Thank you for removing those f30 stickers. I think they take away from the f80.

Moony · 03-12-2019, 08:04 PM

joooiiiiii · 03-12-2019, 08:30 PM
