Alternative to Badges
 
Like Porsche Ill use lightweight stickers instead of the massively heavy badges! Got these for the front and back, will post pics installed

Pics Installed (Very easy install, pain getting old badge off and surface 1000% clean), filled in the holes using small beads of silcone. Love the Flat streamline look

Interested. Not sure how I am supposed to feel about this. I really want to see where this goes.

Nardi330 12-10-2012 01:21 AM

actually pretty good idea. but i'd prefer them in matte black vinyl tho.

Dispect 12-10-2012 01:23 AM

interested to see what they'll look like

PMok 12-10-2012 01:30 AM

I like the idea but ANYTHING but that fake CF looking material would be nicer.

GTB/ZR-1 12-10-2012 08:54 AM

Badges? We don't need no stinkin' badges!

Sorry, I couldn't resist

jazztennor 12-10-2012 08:59 AM

+1 i was thinking it but you beat me to it lolololololololol

Vonsamhain 12-10-2012 11:52 AM

Heavy? I hope you don't think you are saving weight. All the badges together dont weight more then a few ounces.

Yeah, one less donut in the morning will get you the same result... Lol

be6sti 12-10-2012 11:58 AM

Going pee first as well would probably add up to the same...
Or taking a dump would add up to a bigger saving

Heavy badges? Rather keep them than the stickers.

kanundrum 12-10-2012 12:17 PM

I guess its really hard to tell sarcasm on the internet even though its plainly apparent lol.

Just a cheaper alternative thas all

Freeman 12-10-2012 12:24 PM

Hey if you got them, might as well use them.

I can't remember exactly, but I think the rear badge as holes under it. Might be something to double check.

It does, Noting a little silicone can't take care of

I think your Sarcasmdar may be faulty.

Turbowned 12-11-2012 09:24 PM

I like the dig at Porsche. When I saw the emblem replaced with a decal on the GT3 RS 4.0 I was like "seriously?" Go ahead and do it man, but I agree with the others that the fake carbon looks silly. Go with a solid color.

kanundrum 12-11-2012 10:32 PM

I have other badges in the fake CF look and they look perfectly fine but if I don't like it its nothing a quick spray of a paint can can't change so yupo should have it in a day or 2 and ill post pics.

kanundrum 12-13-2012 04:37 PM

Pics 1st Page, Front pics coming in a few

Interesting. From far away, you can't even tell they're not badges. Not sure how they'll hold up during rain or a car wash though.

Ive had them on my other car for about 4 years now, works fine looks as good as new since day one after car washing (both by hand and pressure washer)

I should note this is adhesive laser cut vinyl

pcporo 08-05-2013 02:17 AM

kanundrum 08-05-2013 02:21 AM

Custom Made from a buddy of mine

Give the guy a break, at least he's trying to do something.. I'd be interested in seeing a flat black sticker too.

IgnitionGundam 09-03-2013 05:46 PM

kinda reminds me of NASCAR.
