The emblem or the "GT"?

The GT is too big and looks out of place.

here...i made it smaller to the best of my ability without just making another one

it took about 2 hours with a shop grinder and sandpaper...looks like crap but oh well

If it were me, I think I'd go to a junkyard and chip the "GT" logo off of the back of a Legacy GT, and slip it into your pocket (did that with a loose Honda logo once just for fun, it was broken anyway, so whatev')... or pay a whole dollar or whatever they might feel like making you pay.

ok...i changed it...once again...and it looks fine in my terms...i have it painted in a white primer...im thinking about an actual color but this is what it is now

it was a keychain thing i made but didnt want it broken and then lost it in the center console in my car...this is the exact replica of the logo too...i made it in school.

i found it yesturday so i put it on...tell me what you think now and what color or take this off too...this is my last attempt for now lol

if you want one i can make one next year...i have to actually redraw the holding peice which shouldnt be hard or long at all...i cant make too many though.

The grill doesn't suit badges.

It's why the BE/BH grille badges are underneath the center row, out of the way.

So you guys have a hotwire cutter or something? Much better job on the SLi logo, but I would never put an sli "badge" on my car. Nor would I put a nasioc badge, and I especially hate it when car lots put badges on.

If I go through with an e85 high compression motor, I was going to make a "G-Tree" logo, where the T was actually a tree (like the ford flex fuel logo), or simply paint the GT green/chrome. Otherwise affiliations are sourced in sticker form haha.
