I'll hop on the other side of this one. I like subtle advertisement of a vehicle's potential. I think it was in Vette magazine they did a story on Jay Leno's modded yellow '02 Z06. He replaced the factory 405hp Z06 badges with custom 514hp Z06 badges. I thought it was :cool:

Chris...........Hummmmmm. This is kind of a tuff one. If all he does is change the Z06 hp badge, then I'd go with the change. Plastering 525 hp all over the car is absolutely a :nono: . Besides, won't his slightly raised hood give away the fact that this beast is not stock?
I seriously doubt that during a race the other driver is going to be looking at Johnno's hp badge anyway. Most likely, the other drive is going to be staring at Johnno's taillights off in the far distance.

No worries, the badges stay as they are. I feel buldges are all a man needs to show - no sense waving it about in everyone's face. :eek:
