Badging from the tuners?

yahtzee · 12-17-2007, 08:57 PM

I remember the days before I owned a BMW and seeing "DINAN" on the back of one.....any tuners (Vishnu, JB, etc) offering any BMW style badging to show what the driver is running? I know most want the sleeper effect but just curious.

LOL....good point......

Actually I purposely left the name/company/info off the JB, it's just a tiny black box. If someone found one in the ECU box they probably wouldn't know what it was.

you get some nice Split Second stickers when u get your turbo tuner.

better than badges i think.

still not a big fan of stickers anyways. but maybe on the rear quarter windows is okay.

They will think it is some kind of a plastic explosives device and run for their lives....

I was going to get a big "Powered by Honda" sticker across my back window, but I'm having problems finding one big enough.

"Yeah, it's got a HEMI"

yahtzee · 12-18-2007, 08:35 AM

was thinking more like the DINAN badges that looked like the BMW badging......good point about the dealer, though...

Stickers add Horsepower. Race tape adds traction.

I want a badge on the back of mine that just says "Terry".

The last badge i had on one of my cars was my 69 Chevelle SS.It was the big red hooker headers sticker i had on the quarter panels under the 396 badge.

Those stickers in CA will just get you pulled over and your hood popped. Any mods found and you are not a happy camper.

Now if you live in Florida and you are running the Juice Box, well that kind of badge would be interpreted as supporting the local market! (I suppose that could be your arguement in CA as well)

If you put the race tape front to back, it's like adding a rudder to your car - you'll corner a lot better.
