^^Love your badges. I'm deciding between these:

So here's my grill:










I love this one - but it's not a go badge....



Thoughts?

To say they are addictive is a gross understatement...

I seem to have a problem - I can't stop buying these things! I started out with just one on there but now I've got a second one that I'll put on soon. Then today I saw the new bumper bar they made... so I ordered that and 3 more badges. I think my favorite is still my first one:




I was able to request a different color combination of an existing 3D badge so I just ordered this one today:


Other badges I either have or have on order:

Yeah, I'll definitely be ordering more before I get my license plate. The badge bar plus maybe the "Bye" badge and one other. Yeah, I'd say I'm slightly addicted to the site... lol

The "Bye" badge was VERY tempting! I asked for a few more color combos to be made and might order one when the others are available.

I can't make up my mind! Maybe I'll wait until their custom service comes back. I'd love to design my own.

Here's my badge collection so far:



The "BLACK ICE" namesake badge is a custom Go-Badge. The others are cheap 3" refrigerator magnets I swap around.

I have a dual flat rear plate mount and single flat grill mount on which I have normal vinyl stickers: "SCCA" sticker on the grill mount, "OLYMPICS" and "NRA" stickers on the rear plate dual mount. No fuss, no removal at car washes and no sticker goo on my car!

I just slap the magnet badges on over the vinyl stickers when the mood hits me...

I don't went to spend the money and then feel like I can only use them at certain times...

I can't speak to the quality of go badges, but I can tell you I had another badge holder on my '06 I literally took off tonight and the magnet on it had been there since July of '06. So basically 6 years with no problems including automatic car washes.

So I went with #2. Hopefully it will arrive soon!

Btw - I read that you shouldn't place more then one badge on a "s" model grill due to air intake concerns. Is that true?

I have 2 on mine and there have been no issues. As long as you are giving enough space for airflow into the radiator there shouldn't be a problem.

Got mine today. VERY fast service. I'm not sure I'm sold on the velcro mounting system, but we'll see. I may replace the velcro with zip ties.

I've had mine on with velcro for a few weeks now and have gone through a few car washes with no issues.

I'm glad I saved 7-8 hundred dollars and didn't order the driving lights on my new countryman. I had them on my '03 hardtop, and almost NEVER used them, I just liked how they looked. I'll get these instead and accomplish almost the same look, for much less money. They are a little less subtle than the driving lights, but that may not be a bad thing.

I love my driving lights and use them fairly often. I drive through a Park we have here in the middle of the city that's not well lit - what a huge difference. Totally worth the money to me, plus I think they make the "s" grill (or any grill really) so much nicer - much more "mini". The badge adds to the look, but really isn't a replacement for driving lights.
