Im going to bring some Old school into this. Here is a flash back from the past circa 1962. In 1962 Chevrolet made an entry level sedan called a Biscayne. It was a step down from the Belaire and two steps down from the impala. The very cool thing about Chevrolet at that time, you could order almost anything in any combination. People bought Biscayne's because they were very inexpensive with cloth bench seats and tiny hubcaps that just covered the lug nuts, the steel wheels were usually painted the same color as the car. Most were no option cars that you could buy for 2100 dollars with a 6 cylinder engine
the very cool part was you could, if you knew anyone at GM. You could buy this car with this stripped down look, but with a dual quad 425 Hp 409. It came with a much better suspension, and upgraded tires and you could order it with a 373 or 411 or 456 rear( from the factory). you could order it with an M22 rock crusher or an M21 or T10 transmission. And of course a 4 speed shifter on the floor, that was almost invisible because of the bench seats. This car looked so plain Jane when the engine wasn't running, you could not really tell is from any other Biscayne. there was only two things that gave it away. Duel exhaust which exited from each side of the car behind the rear wheel and not from the back and that small 409 badge on the front fender. Any young kid who saw one of these and saw that badge got an instant hard on, because they knew what was under the hood. Back in those days Cars were a big part of Americana.

I don't care for the badge. When your car is running everyone
would know your SC by the sound.

I wanted something that wasn't to big and flashy but says whats in the car. I'm still waiting on Austin to send me some ideas. I won't put the HP on the emblem as my hp level changes ALL the time.
I still cant decide weather to remove or keep, I've been badge less for 5 years.

If they're really competition it wouldn't matter. 
If they're not the badges will help keep Blitz from wasting his time.
Besides, I've never seen anyone at a track leave the line because the person they are paired up with has a supercharger.
