they are REAL CF BuyHIDs.COM Emblems


Our Carbon Fiber Bowtie emblems are made from brand new OEM emblems. They are made out of REAL carbon fiber. The front emblem bolts into the front cross bar and the back is held on with double sided tape same as stock. Takes 1-2 weeks to ship as these are made per order.

I had one from buyhid's and did NOT like it. To me, didn't look like CF at all. So if someone can make one that actually looks and uses real CF I'd take a look at it.
