Default Emblems... with or without?

I was debating whether or not to put my emblems back on the door after paint. I did a half-*** photoshop to give myself an idea...What do you guys think?

w/o...
Let'em find out it's supercharged...as if the whine doesn't give it away.

what about this...



It doesn't look so cluttered and IMHO it looks much meaner!

Yeah, It would just be the Trans Am right now, cause the supercharged emblems got ruined when the body shop removed them. So I would have to order some more of those.

I was mainly just trying to decide whether it looked better with any there or not. I do kind of like the supercharged TA photoshop though... I haven't even thought of doing something like that

if u want the clean look, keep the emblems off and !moldings. however, i've always liked the badges, myself. personally, i would go with your first pic, with the badges. either way, it looks beautiful! great work!

Yeah, I almost left the moldings off cause so many people are doing that now... but I looked at it without them and just didn't like it as much so one of the last things we did was have them sprayed and put back on too. I know i like it better with the moldings on this particular car, course its one of those things that doesn't look bad either way.

You got to get in contact with dragonz28 for some nice stainless steel emblems. Maybe some custom ones could be worked out....

I have almost his whole line of TA products seems like lol...I have the front bird overlay, rear pontiac inlay, ram air grill covers, side vent covers lol...

The Trans Am emblem in the photoshop is from him and I also have the stainless Ram Air emblems for the hood too, but I haven't decided whether to put them on or not yet.

The WS6 emblem and supercharged emblem are the only things that didn't come from him lol. Great products highly recommend the "Muffinbuster"
