Default Vortech Logo... Stay or Go?

I've been debating about this inside my head. So, I went out and snapped a few pics yesterday and hoped to get some help from you guys... I'm starting to think that this Vortech logo may be too much.

Especially with the new polished vents from DragonZ28 right underneath.

Also, some people don't like having these type of logos on cars. Not that I could hide the whine of the supercharger (at least from anyone that knows much about cars) for that "sleeper" effect anyways... but it might be less tacky lol.....What do you guys think?

Oh and Here is a good shot of the nostrils with the polished grills too:

I think It looks good, Keep the logo on the car. Maybe if you are tired of it you can put it somewhere else, like the back panel. If I was to see you car parked somewhere and I seen the Vortech sticker, I would be like DAMN!! That looks Mean as hell, Plus you can't hide the fact that you have one, so might *** well show it off.

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.

Thanks for all the input guys, I just didn't want anyone to ever walk by and say that dreaded four letter word... :

maybe move one to the back opposite the WS6 logo and take the other side off completely. That way you can still show it off but I dont think it would look as out of place there...

aight... will do asap !

Its just a tad too big (tall) for the back and I already have an SLP emblem opposite my WS6. That is a good suggestion though... would be nice to find some type of supercharged emblem that would fit back there instead.

I'm going to check ebay for that... if anyone knows of any right off let me know!

Thanks for all the input so far

Leave it on. Its not like a huge vortech logo is plastered on the side of your car. You cant hide the fact you have a blower, so why take it off?
