I got these badges for free and normally I HATE badges, stickers, trim, moulding, etc but I want to at least give a hint of whats under the hood soon. Too much?

Maybe same color as the wheels would be more subtle but that looks good too.

I agree that a darker color would go with the car better but the stainless on these is etched or burned or something to say TRANS AM.

Yes that's scotch tape holding it on. Laughing

I vote gunmetal as well. They kind of give the badges a double take kind of status

Maybe the darker color, then red in the TRANS AM etching. The etching would look just like what you have, except red. Cool

gunmetal to match the wheels or black to match the stripes. but regardless, do not put them on until you have turbo'd the car.

i think its a kool emblem, i dont know if thats the right place for it tho.
is there a spot maybe on the rear that would look good?

I don't think it'd look good on the rear bumper...

No bumper stuff on trans ams. only camaros get bumper stuff. Very Happy

Might even look good if it was black to match your gs strips on the side there.

ya i think the spot is good but black like the color of the rims or strip then have it say trans am in the same color red as the car

I vote for black.

I very rarely offer a dissenting opinion. I like the idea of the badge and as others have said I think that painted to match the stripes or wheels would be best. I personally do not think that that particular badge looks good enough to be on your car; specifically the font on the TURBO portion. My opinion.

You can get high quality replacement badges for an 89 TTA but would have to change the coloring.

I think that one would look awesome as is on your car.

I'm with Schultzy. That would look better of you change the color of it.

I knew there was something weird about the Turbo font. Specifically the 'O'

I think I'll just keep these for the side of the tool box. Very Happy
