I am still trying to decide what I like best. The back looks just about as good that way(to me anyway), and the front really seems significantly better. It did take me some tounge chewing and concentration to get it perfectly inside that narrow gold ring, but that gold just seems to blend right in with the design, making it a bit more intricate and it now has the appearance of a VERY deep set emblem. I will get some pics and you guys be the judge. In the future, I might do the same thing again intentionally. They are good quality replacements btw, if anyone was looking to rebadge, these are awesome. My car is a full second faster in the 1/4 now... LOL
