That sucks about Techco. Gonna be really tough to sell the left over stock. It's a great s/c with a killer whine. Probably the loudest twin screw whine out there.

Given that you have theft/vandalism concerns, explain how that's a good thing (I'm assuming that in addition to not being blind, thieves aren't deaf either).

If you need to be low profile, why any badge at all?

I think you will be fine. Most of the time thieves look for quick steals. Most of the time they don't know cars very well and most likely won't even know what that hood scope is even for. They will take those wheels way before they go through the trouble of stealing the charger or the car.

I drive a GT500...if you're worried about people stealing because of knowing the car, mine would be quick to go. But like pascal posted, haven't heard of a lot of mustangs being stolen. If you check for the most stolen cars, it's usually common, low cost vehicles...occasionally expensive rare ones....but typically not flashy, bring attention cars like mustangs.

The badge was just an idea. I might not put one on but I'm definitely taking off the SS badge. If I do a custom badge, it's not going to say "Supercharged" or anything like that.
