Can't decide if I should go with carbon fiber or red.
Always thought red would look good on graphite gray, but I think black gives sort of rugged look and goes well with 20" rims-- but then red stands out against brownish tint of the graphite gray and goes very well with side rear profile of all-red tails.
If anyone with GG Q7 has either badge, can you share some pictures?
PS: Is there a way to get this template somewhere? Ughh sorry about the gnarly fingers of whoever it is that thought would be a good idea to take a picture.
Thanks.

Here's mine with carbon badge. I deliberated the same as you, and with my wheels blacked out, carbon was absolutely the way to go: https://www.audiworld.com/forums/q7-...heels-2937130/

Yep -- totally your call, and if not BOP, CF might not fit as well. I was seriously deliberating blacking out the other badges, but with the GG, BOP, and ink black wheels...I realized I wanted the chrome badges to pop. I literally thought to myself, "I want people to see the badges from a distance, and if they are blacked out, you wouldn't!" Ah.......vanity, as it is...lol...

I'm still leaning towards the carbon, but I'm very interested to see how the red badges look on your Q7 before I buy either... I'll be waiting patiently for the pics..LOL.

Received my red emblems and will try and install over the weekend. Will it be ok if I install it when its very cold (like 30 and below this weekend)?

I wouldn't, I used to have a business that did vehicle graphics, stickers, you shouldn't apply them under 70 degrees for best adhesion. I'd at least use a heat gun but I'd suggest find a heated garage and get it warmed up for a few hours.

The badges look good.. I wouldn't install them if it's as cold as you mentioned... Wait until you get a break in the weather, IME 45-50 degrees you should be ok. But let the Q7 sit in the sun for a few hours, and obviously keep the badges in the house until you use them.
