Some front/rear BALLER badge replacements!!!

Well, here's the deal...

A) I hate the mini wings on the front/rear of the car
B) It sucks that there are holes behind them
C) I think I may have found a few bad *** solutions to the problem!!!

Autobot/Decepticon Aluminum Badges!!!



Or the infamous shocker!!!


All of which can be found on: http://levelzeromotorsports.com/stor...b73ade51c132ce

The rear boot emblem can probably be replaced by one of the ones made for an SRT4 due to the amount of room and space between the holes under the stock badge. And the front would need one of the fender sized emblems since there isn't much room between the scoop and grill.

A few preliminary questions before I go ahead and order up some...

1) Does anyone know the minumum size of the badge needed for the front/rear to cover the holes that lie underneath?
2) Which would you choose?

Yah I'm with you on that one....i just don't know if this is the best solution for the problem. You'll still have a big shiny badge in the same place....and with the shocker.... it's funny the first time you see it, but then it loses it for me.

If you just want smaller....you could order a new front MCS wings badge and install on the rear. They're smaller

Yah...I'm pretty sure it would. The holes are pretty close together...they're located near the middle of the badge, not out at the ends of the wings.

Makes sense in a thread about a shocker badge

(Shrug)... at least my car doesn't look like everyone else's... and it's all invisible until I switch it on. I guess I COULD be like everyone else and get a red MINI with blacked out windows and black wheels, but it's been done 1000X (yawn).

But I was more talking about the Dodge-ish "sheild" shape of the badge... It's a poor fit on the MINI IMHO. But, he who makes the car payments is the only opinion that matters, right?

Honestly I was just kidding around....no reason to make it personal and make fun of his red and black car. (I see 20 times as many cars with underbody glow as I do black OZ's....neither of them are one-of-a-kind mods) I was just pointing out that you shouldn't avoid doing a mod just because another group of cars does the mod a lot. If you like the look on the MINI...you should run it....even if a bunch of ugly cars are running them too.

With that being said, I agree with your new post that they don't flow well on the MINI....that's a better way of wording it.

wow you're a real gem. I've showed restraint in a few of your past posts out of respect... i guess i'll take the gloves off in the future.

which would be worse... done 10000x times... or done once... horribly tacky and mixing in with all the ricers and too fast too furious neons, and civics? that being said... I wonder how many cars there are running around this country with underglow? hmmm prob more of those then there are cr/bl mini's with black wheels. food for thought.
