Just got these, not sure how I feel ?



I mean they are kind of cool looking and are quality pieces, but I am not sure if I like the clean look better.

What do you guys think?

I agree the turbo makes the badge look too big but it is your car

It would look better if the turbo was smaller. I don't think it's bad though.

I do not think it looks too bad.  Thanks for the pics, I have a couple badges that say 351 Windsor... this gives me a visual of how those will look.

I like 'em but I think it would look better with just the 2.3 minus the Turbo part of the badge. After all it already says "Turbo Coupe" on the door molding.
