Where to put badge?

I've got the letters for my Boxer badge now and I just need to decide on a position for it. Should it go on the left side of the deck, right side above the 2.5GT, or right side under the 2.5GT?





Here are the letters just sitting on top of the 2.5GT.



The letters look pretty good. They are bigger than the original LEGACY badge. More along the lines of the GT. Anyway, I'm just trying to decide on a spot and then I'll slap em on.

For my 2c, the clean look of a badgeless sleeper is much better.

I have to agree. Don't let anyone know what hit them!

Your car though and if you want to put them on, I sure won't stop you. I had to buy the 'cowl induction' letters for my Chevelle's hood because otherwise there were open holes.

Yeah, I've thought about that. But then I though about the fact that anyone can have a debadged Legacy. Not everybody will have BOXER on it. I want people to ask me what a Boxer 2.5GT is.

You could put this Boxer on your car. Not sure how you would animate it though....

the engine is a boxer engine ( ie flat four is squarish - shaped like a box )

I've decided against the badge. I put it on the left side and it just isn't doing it for me. Oh well.... I guess I'm glad I tried it out so it doesn't bug me wondering "what if..." It looks a lot better with just the 2.5GT.

Since you have it and the emblem does look good. How about mounting it in the engine bay somewhere. On the aircleaner? Just a thought
