People have been doing this for years. Z28 badges, SS badges, GTO, Cobra, the list goes on and on.

I have no intention of putting Cobra badges on my car. I'm considering removing all badges.

If you have Cobra badges, and you don't have a Cobra? Yep. Just because you have a cobra motor, and your car may be bada** - you're not a Cobra.

Generally hate it, except in extreme cases. I used to have a Ford Escort (with a powerfule 88 HP engine), so I put a 5.0 badge on it. People would try to get me to race, but I'd just shrug them off like their car sucked...

I was saddened by this topic the other day. I go to school and see what APPEARS to be a nice mustang rolling up, 99 or so, high gloss black, and it had the cobra snake emblems and the cobra bumper, dual exhaust and all.... then I heard the guy hit the gas and it sounded like a weed whacker!!! TOTALLY emblemed up and posing V6.... ::sigh::

my theory, is either be proud of what your car is or just pull all the badges off.

I'm content with my 1997 GT, and it will always be known as a GT!

no, no, no it's never ok!!! lol - I have seen quick V6's... some of em that will blow my doors right off, but a turbo doesn't make it a Cobra. or a GT, or a Mach 1 or a SVO.. It makes it a fast a*s V6... I did see a Mustang with a Skyline "GTR" symbol not to long ago.. tisk tisk tisk...

if your car is a V6, let it be a v6. If your name is Joe, you don't wear a name tag that says Dave now do you???


ehhhh that v6 with cobra decorations made me sad.... sounded almost rice....

yea, i gotta put my 2 cents in on this. the worst i seen yet was a skyline "GT R" badge on a 96 ranger. i've even seen si badges on ford pick-ups. i really hate that, even though it makes me chuckle inside. i have a 95 gt that would burn any stock or mildly modified cobra and i still proudly sport my gt badges, even though i have Cobra R rims and a cobra intake, and the cobra badges would go off nice with the car if you wanted to look under the hood. but, gt and cobra badges aren't gonna fool anyone, because most of them i see still have the stock v6 rims. plus, they'll have the sigle exhaust...but the worst are still the ricers..some people need to get a clue....and another new thing is the corvette badges on luminas and monte carlo's, what's up with that, atleast have a 350 in the thing.
