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.

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

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

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.

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.
