rear tag

I don't like the chrome "turbo" on the back. Wanted to get a poll of what people think would look best. I've got a meteor grey TT, with 5% tints and I'm getting a cargraphic exhaust with blacked out tips.

I'm already leaning towards one of them, but thought I'd see what others thought.

Thanks in advance.

Just wanted to share the work

Got the emblem from Eric @ bumperplugs. Had Ron Brown put it on with the cargraphic exhaust and paint the stock tips.

Thanks again for the responses and the help.

3rd pic has the exhaust. I should have taken it outside without the flash, but you get the idea.

Funny, I went with TWO different emblems before ending up with the chrome version again. I went with black but didn't like how it'd disappear on my cobalt Turbo then I tried the painted aluminum version but felt that it didn't match the chrome tips so back I went to the stock version.

I like the chrome one myself, especially on my black car....But out of the choices he gave black turbo looked best imho

It really depends on the color of the car. Black would look great on a lighter colored car such as white, red, grey, silver, etc. But on darker colored cars it kind of defeats the purpose.

When I got my FabSpeed tips powder coated black I also switched to the black logo. The chrome one just didnt fit anymore, looked out of place.

You definitely made the right choice.

Thumbs up rear logo

great pick looks way cool. my car is white and had mine painted "guards red". i also painted the mirrors & center grill work "red". as a final touch i had side strips with model logo (turbo) put on; very cool looking; almost race car like. i get compliments all the time! once i decide on rims gonna get them in "red" too!
