Someone might have found something better/cheaper,. but just in case anyone was looking, here's the fruit of my searches for a subtle "Supercharged" badge.

My requirements were that it be an actual BADGE and not a simple vinyl sticker, and that it be less than 5" long. I measured the space beneath the side turn signal vent and figured that was about as large as I wanted to go- larger would have been ugly.

I found several badges, from Pontiac to Ford and everything in-between, but most were either in tacky script or were too large. I found one similar to the one that one of our regular forum posters uses, but they were priced at like $28 apeice, which was, IMHO too much for a simple badge.

I found this one for a Pontiac, but I could not get dimensions, and it was a bit bold for my tastes, and it would require custom cutting to remove the "GTP":



Then I found this one:

("Supercharged" emblem is near the bottom)...

They're only $10 apeice w/ $5 shipping, are a chromed badge with block text, not script and, best of all, are only 3.7" long, small enough that wheh placed up under the side marker will blend in, only showing when people really look closely.


If anyone else has a good source for these, please link in. I'll post up pics when I install mine- I should have them next week or so.

 

Thought I would help you out:

 

LOL... thanks.

 

akkk, go all the way and put TYPE GT-R Turbo

 

Good find, ImagoX. I might have to add these to mine as well - I likey.

 

My car came with some spiffy red S emblems on it. Those don't look bad, but they're not my cup O tea.

 

Yeah, my side-markers have the red "S" on them too, but I thought this would be a nice addition.

 

I like the ones that say "Kompressor" - gives a little bit of mystique and german flavor...

 

where to get those??

 

they are off the mercedes benz cars. I have wanted to put one of those badges on a car since i saw them!

it sort of would have fit on my turbo miata....but it would REALLY go well with the S....

 

yeh, ive checkd w/two Benz dealers 'n they dont stock em, so dats why i askd.... i really like em!

 

I got Nissan's badge from a Xterra. I got it from the dealer for under 10$ and it fits great (IMO)

Here's a picture.

 

you can find them pretty cheap on ebay... look under 'supercharged emblem'

 

Also, These can be found at a Nissan dealer.

Have an emblem made ...

The letters are 1" high which may be a little too large.

Rick, are you using the ones I linked to on your car? I got the idea from you in the first place. Love that license plate bracket BTW... Not as much as the Union Jack one, but it is spiffy.

 

 

...and a follow up question: I'm assuming you have to order 2 (one for each side) and that they don't come in twos. They're $10 each x 2 plus shipping.

So for $25 you can get two high quality badges. Hmmmm... I think I'll go for that and line that mod up with my yet to be ordered boot stripes... to put on my yet to be delivered car.

 

Yes, they are the ones you showed, i got them froma mustang store on ebay.

They were 12 dollars for a set of 2 on ebay.

 

Hey folks those red S's don't stand for supercharger.

Neat idea with the Turbo S's coming out soon. So I don't undertand Ken's post, unless he is refering to the MC I saw sporting a MCS boot badge I prefer the subtle under Cooper S badge on the boot.

 

N0 way! get outta here! ..j/k

me too

 

That is nice, I agree...

Rick, if you can re-locate that Mustang ebay store and link us, we'd all really apreciate it. $12 for 2 is better than $22 or so.

 

Is that a Buick badge? Like this one...
