Black Subaru Badge
 

Has anyone decided to make their badges black?

Is there much of a difference between Ebay badges and OEM?

Interesting...

Is the impreza (wrx/sti) badge even the same size? If our badge matches one of the other cars in the subaru model line it will make other colors easier to find. I was just going to maybe do the DYI paint trick i have seen before on other forums.

also that one looks like its only for the GD.

I wouldn't get a black badge. You'll lose upwards of 26 hp due to heat soak through the badge, and into the most critical part of the engine: the top center of the radiator. You do know that 72% of a radiator's cooling capacity is located right on top center portion, right?

The reason Subaru uses a blue badge is due to the spectral-driven low emisivity of the particular color blue in the badge. That is to say, the badge will not act as a black-body radiator of infrared light onto the top center of the car's radiator. The star pattern on the Front of the badge is actually a special metal designed to reflect 60% more heat than a conventional plasti-chrome material choice.

Subaru put a lot of time in selecting materials, which helps facilitate the tight packaging requirements they have placed on the car. Why would you want to compromise it with a black badge, because it is all downhill from there.

Laugh!!!
 

Friggin Funny as.....:bellyroll:

:bellyroll: lmfao you've just highlighted my day.

I actually could consider this but I'd have to see what it looks like on swp first...

At least on the WRB, I think the blue Subaru badge looks better.

I almost feel like they used GBS for the Subaru badge...

unobtanium alloy?

you highlighted a portion of his day...

Id switch to black. Having a GBS, the original badge blends in. As stated before gbs is almost an exact match.

I want pink badges.
