I like the emblem - I say keep it on the car. Only thing better would be one that has the HP numbers as mentioned by another member above.

Default You asked for opinion

Here's mine. The badge is ok, clean and subtle, " BUT "... I don't like its placement because your car is otherwise badge less... So its placement in such a prominent place is out of place... BUT.... move it down to the lower part of your front fender by your front door seam and it will return your car to that clean badge less look but will stealth fully show off what is lurking under the hood. You get to keep the badges on the car but in a much more inconspicuous place... and not so much " In your Face "...

No badge.

By the way BK, you talked me into the Blower. I'd say within 12 months I will be there. I don't think I will hit 700 but I should hit 600.

I like the stealth, non-badge look better! Don't give them any hints to what you're packing underneath the hood!

Plus the ones you displayed look a little too generic for what you've accomplished under the hood. It's like they could be swapped out to any other modified car.

Your car looks good, and I like your license plate, it already sends a message, with that being said, I'd keep it more of a "Sleeper," and lose the Supercharge badge!

I'm not running 700RWHP, but I keep mine in "Sleeper mode," no idea what's under the hood..... ...

Your Millenium Yellow and tasteful additions are very nice, except for that particular badge. Buh, bye.

ET makes a good point about location, plus I think whatever Austin comes up with will likely be good but here again, placement is a key to uniqueness as well as the design itself.

I am generally of the "Less is more" school. A couple examples of some I find fairly tasteful and well done are the BMW "M" car logos and the Merc "AMG" logos.

I like the idea of a Supercharged badge. However, this badge is a little plain. I would search for different badges.
