I think they will look great. You are putting a supercharger on it, so why not. The double badge in the other picture looks awful, way too much. Yours looks tastefully done

These stickers are terrible in my opinion - they look cheap and thus cheapen the look of the entire car. For certain, your example of a badge is better and cleaner.
While my preference would suggest leave it stock, if you do it consider reversing the colors and get rid of the LS3 - just the supercharged portion. By reversing colors, make the badge black, and the word silver or white.
Usually people debadge to make their car more understated (from my experience with BMW and Porsche folks )

I don't think this is too bad, somewhat understated. $300 seems ridiculous though, I'd wrap the ones I have and get custom decals made (maybe).

"I don't need no stinkin' badges" I removed the chiclets and the door handles to get a cleaner and more aerodynamic look. I took off the nose flag too, but covered the holes with a decal. Between the weight and less aero drag, I gained .00025 MPH top speed and .00037 MPG or the .075 HP equivalent.

While I'm agreeing with everybody else on a no, I'm wondering what would they look like on the hood?

^^^^ THIS.

I think any "Supercharged" emblem that is aftermarket looks kinda cheesey.

Well, as I said before ... I am not big into decals and emblems. Especially add-on aftermarket ones.

Thanks everyone for your feedback.

That emblem I posted on the 1st post of this thread just kinda caught my eye .... oh well
