Default The emblem I want on my GXP
Nothing elaborate, just a simple 5.3L next to the V8 on the trunk lid. Way too many people think Dreadnought has the rather wimpy Northstar under the hood. One guy even said "pop the hood and let me see that Northstar." I just chuckled and showed him the LS4.

What do you all think? And does anyone know of a company that makes such a badge?

Sort of like the one on the rocker panel, but on the trunk, and with just an "L."

I usually say " to each his own," but why must you refer to your car as an older than dirt battleship?

Why not? The name appeals to me being a history geek. There is someone on here who calls his Monte "Crusader," which is a even older Christian soldier of the Middle Ages. To each, his/her own.

Any local sign or vinyl shop should be able to make it for around $5. If you don't have one, I could get it made here and send it to you.

Mine's "That badass Grand Prix" or "One of them new G8s" lol Funny thing is there are about 15 G8s in town, so I know they have to know it isn't one

I call mine, the Prix, the GXP, or the Shark, 'cause it's silver and the XM antenna looks like a fin...
