Porsche "Turbo" badge pictures
�
�
I have seen one or two wrxs w/ turbo badges, and they look really good, and I want to get one, but my friends think it would look stupid. Does anybody have any pics so that I can prove them wrong?

I think a "Boxer 4" in the same font would look really nice. Is there a place that would make one for me?

Ehhhh, thats a tad ricey.
| Kean | 04-30-2003 07:38 PM |
I saw the pics and still thought it looked stupid. ;) Here's the thread where I saw it but it doesn't look like the pic link works anymore.

btw, if you really like it....then do it. Personally, I think it's kinda tacky to add emblems or stickers to a car. ....but then again, do you really care what I think or someone else for that matter? :)
Hope the link helps. Good Luck.

Yes it is. Even though its kinda special that we and Porsche run boxer engines, putting thier badges on ours would be just the same as that guy who puts the "Type R" and "VTEC" badge on his Ford.

Well... you could mutilate a porsche Boxster badge to read 'Boxer'... And then get the '4' from the Porsche Carrera 4 badging

I have the replica sti grill (more like liberal) with a fine balck mesh and I'm thinking of getting a black turbo badge to put on the upper right corner. Subtle, can't see it unless you look closely, and I DO have a turbo.

me thinks porsche badge on wrx haves much suck :alien:
Just my opinion...
but if ya like it, do it. As I try to convince my friends and girlfriend that gold wheels would look awesoem on my black WRX sedan, they all think it woudl look stupid...but i'm convinced it'd look awesome, i love the gold on black... They also think the STI stuff looks stupid 'cause it's pink and "girlie".
So most people might not undestand many things that us subiephiles are into... but as far as dropping on badging from other manufacturers... that doesn't seem to make much sense, even if it does have a turbo... and mainly because everyone that sees it will be trying to figure out why you put a VW "turbo" badge on your car, since that badging looks like what you'd see on the back of the new turbo beetles to me... (might be the same, i dunno)... plus it's all swoopy and cursive and the subaru and impreza lettering isn't... doesn't seem to match.

The "Turbo" badge from Porsche is not a model designation so I dont see how someone can compare that from a Type R badge on a FORD. Type R is a model name, "Turbo" badge is not a model name. You can completely compare a 911 badge on their Subaru to a Ford with Type R :lol:

2.5RS/TS with a turbo badge (and an aftermarket turbo, of course) makes sense... WRX + turbo badge is redundant. WRX=turbo Impreza, plain and simple.

True, but not necessarily.
I get all the time "is that the one with the turbo?" or "Yeah, my friend got a WRX. He put a turbo and everything in it. Have you put a turbo in yours?"
Among people who know, yeah, WRX=Turbo but alot of people don't know that.
Personally, I think adding the turbo badge is clean and nice looking. I wouldn't do it myself, but I think it looks okay.

Eh, to me its like putting a Vtec badge on an ITR... just dumb. Why no put an "ABS" badge/sticker on there too, I mean people might not know that we have ABS brakes :rolleyes: . Its your money and your ride do what you like... opinions are like..., well you get the point.

"Type R" is not a model name. USA only had the Integra Type R but other models were available as Type R such as the Civic and the NSX.
As per the Turbo badge on a WRX... I would hate to have someone come up to me :" Is this a badge from a VW Beetle Turbo S?"
:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Ti-REX, I was trying to point out that FORD obviously doesnt have a TYPE R. Hence, it would look really stupid. So a SUBARU with a turbo badge (from Porsche) isnt comparable to the FORD TYPE R badging :lol:

:rolleyes: Thats almost as dumb as taking off the "X" in GSX and adding "GS Turbo AWD" badging. The chassis you drive is an Impreza, the trim level is WRX, not an "Impreza Turbo". "Impreza Turbos" do exist, in oddball countries in Eastern Europe and South America, the also sold an "Impreza GT" but those are GC/GM bodied. This conversation is ranking up there with "Powered by Acura", just doens't make sense.

Just how in the world can you compare "Powered by Acura" to a simple badging as Turbo? You are wayyy, going out of line.
As I said earlier, this Turbo badge isnt as bad as VTEC badge on a FORD. Opinions regarding this Turbo badge is getting out of hand...ridiculous and OA. :rolleyes:
And maybe you can explain why 99-00 Civic's badge is dumb. Because I just dont get it...

That looks like that would fit quite nicely on the back of an WRX
| pmartell12 | 05-01-2003 10:32 PM |
The badge is pretty close to the size of the impreza badge below the WRX. I am still trying to decide weither I am going to replace the impreza badge, or put it by the trunk's lock. I picked up an AWD badge from the dealership, so I might try to even out the trunk. I get the car back tomorrow, then the fun will begin!!!

1990-91 Honda Preludes had an ABS badge if they had that option. What was strange was that you could have ABS or 4WS, but not both I believe. Maybe it was on 89 Preludes as well; I can't remember. i've seen a wagon with a Turbo badge on the rear gate, and it didn't look bad. jetguy has a front license plate with the Turbo badge on it. That way, you can take it off if you like. I'm too lazy to search for it though. ;)

Personally I'm a fan of removing badges, not replacing them or adding them but I'll try to be objective... I've seen the "turbo" badge mentioned on a few things and it looks VERY out of place. It doen't match any other emblems on the cars and does look pretty r.... (almost :D )
As far as the boxer motor thing... does that mean everything else out there should use some "I-4" emblems? :lol:

BOY,
I think there is a WRX without a turbo (in japan only).
I personally wouldn't put a turbo badge on my car, although I have seen RS-T badges, but they didn't have a turbo to begin with, so why not.
A "B O X E R" in place of the "S U B A R U" on the trunk would be subtle and a little different. I would get decals made in the Subaru font, though.

Unless you've done an engine swap extra badges are ricey. That is: all show. Do what you want, it's your car.
While you're at it, don't forget to get an " INTERCOOLER" badge off of Volvo you can even mount it on the side of the hood scoop.
Some people might not know you have an intercooler or what that is :rolleyes:
or care :)
