FI badging any thoughts?

Now that I have a supercharger( E Force) for the first time in my life, I have kind of been thinking about some kind of very tasteful badge. Maybe the hood or front fender or the rear as the ZR1. Has anyone done this or have an opinion? Pictures?

Don't like the badges at all but whatever floats your boat. The badges from Austin do look amazing though. Just dont like them on the car.

This is the best choice.

You can enter your car's HP numbers.

My thoughts are ""AA...vortec...whipple..Procharger ...e-force...ecs...Paxton" "supercharged" without the HP numbers

Let someone else guess your HP !!!!

I'm thinking of doing something tasteful and subtle myself after my E-Force install along the lines of using some overlays on the C6 Flags per the attached link. There is a nice overlay selection tool to lay out exactly what you want and gives a good visual of what it would look like.

Some of the badges shown look pretty nice but I'm not into sticking badges on my fender.

That's the one I have been looking at along with the flag overlays I mentioned above.
