Opinions on possible badging arrangements

Gotten tired of the gold bowtie, wanting to go for something else. Tell me what you like, or don't like, and why.

Black SS badge with Supercharged badge underneath:






Or the bowtie painted black:

I figured the more conservative black bowtie would end up being the favorite, but I'd like to know specifically why that party would be opposed to the SS Supercharged badging arrangement.

It's different, and after having my doors debadged since August 2005 (not to mention not having a Supercharged badge anywhere on the car), I've grown to miss that OEM stacked badge arrangement.

My problem with going completely debadged is that it makes the keyhole too obvious. A debadged car should look clean, and having a big shiny keyhole dead center isn't particularly slick. A center badge detracts from its presence.

It's a flag. Been on there for about a year; seeing as how I'm wanting a different look for the trunk badging it's going to come off soon.

Nope. I've looked before and found nothing. If someone knows of one, I'd buy it in a heartbeat.

At one point I came very close to paying $300+ to have it shaved, but it seems like a waste when that kind of money could be put toward more substantial modifications. I'd prefer a more economical solution, and a reversible one (in the event I couldn't get into the trunk without using the key).

I love the flag dearly, but it'll come off soon just for the sake of aesthetics.
