Debadged the rear of my car the other w.e and opted to keep the mitsu badge on the bottom left corner as it looked cool at the time. now ive had it there for a week and cant decide weather to get rid of it or not. Any thoughts?

:P Get rid of it, and buy a chrome bigger one off a newer model and put it the top of the bootlid in the middle, will look much nicer, that little badge looks weird sitting there, and buy a chrome garnish too.

hated it every time iv seen somebody with leaving that small one there
looks really out of place

as said, get a big chrome one and centre it

also as said - chrome boot garnish (dunno if theres any left, but there was a bunch for sale in the for sale section)

the TF back is so boring though, i reckon it would need something to give it some taste - other wise itd be just ugly orange lights LOL

I was going to say the same thing. Get rid of it altogether, or buy a TJ one and whack it in the middle at the top.

where can i buy chrome boot garnish?

They've got a ****load of them here in SA at the Mitsu Clearance House for $5. I got a magna one and a sigma one just caus they're so cheap lol. If you cover the $5 plus whatever postage will be I can probably grab one and send it off to you?

I started removing badges back in '85 mainly to get em off before badge thieving teenagers trashed the paint when stealing them. Quite apart from that, it just looks better. even the designers know this. I mean, when was the last time you saw a manufacturers CAD drawings or conceptual drawings with badges on the car? It's only the marketing boys that put them on there.
