well to be far, it isn't just a sticker in the usual sense... it is made of high quality vinyl like the stripes on the hood in your sig- dduncan
yes but mine isn't advertising a product, but I said it looked alright

exactly, as everyone said....you cant hide the blower, so you might as well let non-car people know what that whine sound is under the hood. Besides you spent the $$ on a blower show it off !

OFF!!!

Im against free advertising, all my purchased parts have had the logo's removed because i paid good $$ for it and they will get more sales when people look at my car.

Once they pay me, i'll keep it. Otherwise.. GONE!

A car looks much cleaner without Advertisments all over.

I thought I was on crack until I started reading some replies. I was looking for a big gay sticker somewhere and couldn't find it on any of those pictures.

Anyways, I'm not a fan of badges or stickers, but that one isn't too bad. Keep it if you want, not what a couple of other people vote for.

I don't like it take it off imo it's cak. Now your car is hot tho but don't think you can pull off the "sleeper" look especially with the blower whine.lol.

I like it, no one can argue with the fact that it's unique. I've never seen that Emblem before, and it was designed well. If I spent that much money on the setup, I would show it off too. If I ever get a car ProCharged, I would put the big *** ProCharger Banner on the front wind-shield. But I'm the kind of guy who doesn't need to be envied, I like people to give opinions on my car, but if I like it... it's going to stay. If I can't decide, it never goes on.

Wow... isn't that a lot of trouble to de-brand every product you buy?

What about shirts... and pants... are you ripping the labels off of your wife's jeans? I'm just kidding, I do understand your point.

I guess I have just never really gave the ol' "if they sponsor you" comments much thought. I mean its just an opinion, but it seems unrealistic for the average guys (like me) to think that companies like vortech are going to pay me money to put they're 2 inch logo on my car... Will they? lol if so, I've been missing out. That's sort of reserved for drag racers or trailer show cars isn't it?

And.. I tend to look at it the other way... I paid alot of money and spent a lot of time getting this setup right with some help from people at vortech. And, I do get questions from non-car folk about the noise and its nice to point to the side of the car when im explaining it. Almost as if it gives some credibility to what I'm describing.

I guess what I'm saying is, I, like everyone else, just want it to look good. All of your comments help me to do that so thanks, everyone.

I prefer most badging be removed. So I voted "get rid of it."

Leave it. It is not flashy or oversized so just keep it on there.

lol.. well i usually dont buy clothing with brand names written all over it. And come to think of it, the only shirts i have with company names on them are ones from my work (they give me a paycheck, and advertising may help keep me employed) and shirts listing the sponsors of our racecar (they have given us thousands to display thier name).

But you get my point and no its not that hard to remove most of it. Half the time when i order parts i ask them to leave off their stickers and they do. If you cant see the logo ever then fine, leave it.

my point is... I love engine bays and vehicles that are really clean like this. The only letters are the name of the vehicle
