Default We Don't Need No Stinkin' Badges

Ok guys I'm trying to decide should I put my badge on or keep it off? I have a Lindsey Stage V Nose panel otherwise this would be an easy choice for me. Thanks for the assistance!

P.S. Ignore my dirty car and my odd hood, my MAF likes to peak

It's hard for me to give you useful input, because personally I don't like that header panel, but I think the badge would make it look too busy.

Try a sticker for now, and if it grows on you, you can remove the sticker and put on the real badge.

Keep the badge. Dump the panel.

ya it's a tough call, I might try the sticker method or maybe a trimmed metal emblem with a strong magnet I can put on the underside of the panel. I like my badge and I like my nose panel, I appreciate everyone's input greatly.

I would say no badge on the panel. If you want a badge then I'd say move it to the hood. It'd be much cleaner that way.

My stage V panel is being painted this week. I'm keeping the badge off. Also, no "turbo" badge or "PORSCHE" sticker is on it. Car was mistaken for a Ferrari last week. (new red paint job) I was slightly insulted but if it's gonna be mistaken for another car...a Ferrari certainly isn't a bad car to be mistaken for.

I generally prefer an understated but nice look . So I would prefer the badge generally , but here it is a toss up.

Probably cause the lines of the panel some what differ and don't really look stockish. I got it real cheap and the first 951 I ever saw (my old neighbors) had one so it grew on me.

Ya certain angles shows the difference it is Porsche Zermatt Silver but probably due to the temp and humidity it was painted shows variance. I'll add it to the list sir, hopefully in I'll get the whole car done it needs it badly started developing clear coat issues.
