    Re-badge is a sin! Props for something different?

    So I saw this black chrome badge on ECS sale for $10 and thought why not give it a try.

    I know the car is a turbo, but it's not incorrect to badge is 2.0 FSI, right? I mean, the engine cover says "2.0 FSI." Thought the subtlety of black chrome on black car was worth a shot. I think it looks kinda cool. What do YOU think?

    ^^ I think that the picture does not draw out how it truly looks. I have seen them on TDI's and it looks really good IMHO.

    It barely visible, looks out of place and asymmetrical.

    It truly comes down to how you want your car to look. I agree with others that it looks placed a little high for some reason.

    Yeah. Gonna see if it grows on me. Sometimes it looks cool. Sometimes looks out of place or lonely with nothing on the opposite side.

    It is about .5" high from where original badges sit. Had trouble holding level, ruler and badge.

    It's probably barely visible since the sun is so bright that the camera can't pick it up.

    I want a TDI badge.
