Badge ideas for the Dart
(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)

Had a few hang-ups working on the Dart, but hopefully soon I'll be able to tow it to the new house and have a real garage to finish it in - not to mention the freedom to work on it on weekdays. Shouldn't be too much longer after that. Anyway, I have been thinking maybe I should put an emblem on it to let others know it's packing something unusual. Since I want something subtle, I'm going for factory emblems. Here are some possibilities I'm thinking of - which would you recommend?

1. A script "Turbo" emblem from a Volvo. The font doesn't look out of place on a '60s car, so I think it's a nice and subtle option.

2. The "Turbo Electronic Fuel Injection" badges off an '80s K-car. Seems kind of appropriate, but a bit '80s.

3. A GLH emblem. While I might be able to find repro Omni stickers, I could probably find some period-correct letters and piece these together.

4. SRT-6 emblems off a Crossfire.

Or would you pick something else? Or no extra badges at all?

I believe rebadging a vehicle, is kinda ricey..i'd leave it a sleeper and let everyone get the shock and ah value from it, especially when they see it in action..Just MHO...

choice #5; Get a 3.7 badge off a jeep liberty (225 = 3.7L) and grab a volvo turbo tag.

My opinion.

You should see if you can find a badge that just says "TURBO" in a slanted script since it's a slant 6.

I got a set of TURBO badges off of my Sunbird. They are black plastic with 2 line silver letters....like this...on the front fender.
