Turbo badge? part 1

Kickz107 12-20-2002 02:31 AM

Turbo badge?
I remember seeing a picture of a blue? WRX with what looked to be either a porsche or VW turbo emblem in the middle of the trunk. It was very original and I was hoping someone still had the pic. If so please post!

Thanks,

Chris

snwbrder206 12-20-2002 01:07 PM

That does look kinda of cool. It is off a Porshe. Those are some sweet rims, bronze with a polished lip. peace
Kickz107 12-20-2002 02:43 PM

Wow! That is Classy!... the badge.

Hey guys if your interested I have 2 Porsche Turbo badges that I will sell you. They are both black though.

One from a 944 stick on and a bit bigger than the 911(plastic)
One from a 911 and it has two prongs that would have to be cut off and then you can glue onto the area you want it on. (metal)

PM me or email is fine.
$35.00 each and $3.85 for Priority mail shipping.
Newbie Subie 12-20-2002 05:39 PM

I don't really like the idea of the badge at all, but I have to admit black on black would look cool. :D

Looks like a stock wing. Wait the top looks like a v7 and the bottom looks stock.

I believe one guy spent a week (and LOT Of hours) making a front license plate outta a 911 turbo badge - he said he was able to get the badge from the dealer for like $50.00 - but that sounds AWFUL cheap in my opinion, what with the inflated prices of anything porcsche related - just comes with the territory.
TheWRX 12-21-2002 01:55 PM

Just doing a little web searching to see where these might be available:
16 UK pounds in chrome, 30 UK pounds in gold at [URL=http://www.type-911.co.uk/gp_exteriors.htm]Type 911[/URL]
[URL=http://www.hdrogers.com/Porsche.html]H.D.Rogers[/URL] has them listed, but no prices.

Edit: Fixed colors.

$50.00 is nothing compared to my "I M P R E Z A" badging costing me $65, and suby dude retails the same thing for $80.

Except you put that turbo badge on an RS. Hope there's a turbo on there. :p
gbrockREX 12-21-2002 08:49 PM

Newbie: i might be interested in that turbo badge! the big 911 one would be preferable! what kind of glue could i use for this?

Edit: oops sorry, didnt mean to jack the thread, shoulda pm him!
UDPride 12-21-2002 10:23 PM

Is it me or does it seem a little silly to be putting porsche emblems on a non porsche automobile. sacriligious perhaps. you may very well be infringing on some copyright issues as well. that turbo script has been with porsche for years and while it may not protect the word, it may protect how the word is displayed and used. just an fyi.

*ahem*

It wouldn't be infringing on copyright any more than putting Type-R badges on a Nissan.

Now, if Subaru made WRXs with the word "Turbo" in similar script all over their cars from the factory, than yeah, maybe you'd have a problem.

Other than that it's just admittedly neato rice.

Newbie Subie 12-22-2002 08:18 PM

These badges are both OEM Porsche embems.

I while ago I saw some trim glue at Pep Boys. I think you can get it at about any auto supply store.

Wow, put an STi badge on your car which is actually Subaru related and people scream "rice". Put a Turbo badge from a Porsche on it and everybody loves it.
:confused: :p
CattyGirl 12-24-2002 12:34 AM

Yeah... I changed my mind about using a badge from another car, but I do wish there were more to choose from directly from Subaru. Oh well. I almost bid:

and then changed my mind. hehehe. Fickle me.
-=Ph/\t WRX=- 01-02-2003 05:48 PM

I can't sell on NASIOC, but if your interested I am offering them for sale on I-Club. I have black and silver ones.
M///Scooby 01-02-2003 11:33 PM

I beleive that badge is from the VW bettle turbo.

Turbo S
Ahh yes...the turbo badge mod...I just want to say for posterity that I believe I am the first to get the "turbo S" badge...ordered from Sunset Porsche in Portland, got the '97 turbo S badges in charcoal metallic. On my silver car, looks sick. President of my company stopped by my desk to ask whose Porsche I stole them off of...funny! Not that I need everyone to go buy this and look like my car, but FYI, it was only $23 and change.

I believe the dyno will show that this mod nets approximately the same horsepower gain as the standard "STi" badge mod.

Peace

P03W

PS- You do get the turbo "S" thing, right?
AaronCompNetSys 09-10-2009 02:35 PM

Those Porsche badges are ugly in my opinion. This one struck me and I think I'll put it on. From the Acura MDX. It will replace my "WRX IMPREZA" badges in the same location.

AaronCompNetSys 11-03-2009 04:08 PM

Wow, I forgot I bumped this. You haters just want me to make a new thread :D

Anyway it is installed and looks amazing. I've already been asked repeatedly
if it is stock and people now just refer to it as the "turbo Subaru". :)

Get what at Walmart? I've never seen a turbo badge that wasn't crap besides this one.

I thought the whole idea was to take badges off, but that does look pretty sweet.

Gorge 11-04-2009 11:00 AM

For some reason, I want to say it's the Subaru Baja's turbo emblem. I haven't seen one in years, so my memory is a bit fuzzy
