Now that my car has been painted I am considering purchasing a Turbo emblem. I am undecided, I like the "Clean" look, no badges, no emblem on the other side I find great looking turbo/turbocharged emblems on ebay. What do you guys think??

I like the clean look without any advertising, but a Porsche 911 Turbo-owner friend of mine jokingly bought me a Porsche-looking turbo badge for my old Miata. It was small enough to fit on the bottom of the license plate frame. I painted it black to blend into the black plate frame. Just an idea!

good idea Paul. How about one of these?

I have this badge from the Japanese version of the MSM, however, it's mounted under my radio:

I like debadged but on a black car this one can blend in pretty well and be understated. Would also look cool on a black license plate frame.

I own one of those Roadsterturbo emblems but it is so old it doesn't look good anymore. I think they are discontinued now.

if I ever get a new badge when I finally get boost I want something that is the most classless late 70's/80's badge possible when everything had turbo on the end

I think its from an old Z

sadly finding as cool a Supercharger logo is going to be hard.

However in this case I voted no. But only if we are talking the Autozone 911 rip off or VW font badges that scream "I dont have a turbo but I totally want one"

I had a "Supercharged" emblem many years ago when Sharka had a blower. It invited many races and attention.

When I put in the turbo, I vowed to not put a badge.

I would go with the factory Roadster Turbo Badge like Eric showed. Looks real nice, Carbon fiber background with red letters

If I can find one again..., the one I bought from you got damaged when I removed it, it looks like crap.

I'm sure I have a couple left, was saving them for my own build but not much getting done there. :(
