Got my UPR black emblems today

[GoTurbo]

Was so excited to order these Sunday when they hit the site, but now having second thoughts upon getting them. They look great 3 feet away, but up close it looks like they were buffed with really fine sand paper or wiped clean with a contaminated microfiber towel. Scratches all over the surface and even a bubble on the back pony.

Am I over reacting? The pics show the scratches but honestly it's quite worse in person. I know black shows everything but I'm having a hard time getting past the bubble in the finish.

Nice look.
Exactly what I am looking for in the emblems.
Almost bought silver instead of yellow.
If I had, our cars would have been twins.

Wow that looks great. Thanks!

I have the same car color than your. Did you choose the matte or gloss emblems?

Everything is matte (heat extractors, stripes, emblems, spoiler).
