Rear badge ideas?

[BigBoss]

Hey all

I want a badge on the back of my car but not just the basic lion, something a little special i think.



Any suggestions?

[leardim]

i am in the same position! i was thinking of the caprice badge

[TinSnips]

why not just get the calais boot garnish?

[BigBoss]

Sorry Tinny, but what do you mean? that chrome bar above the number plate?

[TinSnips]

yep. That...

Run fast!!!

@leardim, the caprice badge dose not fit well because it is flat and the boot is rounded.

Don't think the chrome would work because I have no other chrome on the car....

Well heres a couple of ideas.

- Series 2 chrome garnish( not sure if its the same as the calais)
- Maybe get the big senator style boot lip? might finish the back of nicely, not saying your bootlid atm is horrid, i quite like it , especially for the price you payed but MAYBE a bigger style on might just finish the back off
- SuperCharge your car and chuck a SuperCharger badge on it
- Back in turkey(Hometown) people would get there names or somthing that meant lots to them, custom made badge. Maybe you could?
- Also once again in turkey, they would get on the rear windows there names or other little things made, You could go for chrome
- Maybe even just a Just Commodore sticker at the buttom in white might set it off nicely. Also its only about 10 bux, and your sorta donating towards the forum(JustCommodores Stickers)
- Or also a personal number Plate. (My dad has a white porcshe cayenne, and last week i purchased a number plate that writes his name. I put it on the car today and i must say it changed the look of the car aswell. It was black with white writting. He has dark black tinted windows and wanted to get black rims for it so it would look really good.
- Smaller Holden badge? (VY/Z or series 2 holden )
Cannot really think of anything atm but yeah a few ideas. Sorry if some are stupid but yeah just thought id try my best to help

BTW bigboss. Thats a ####n sexy photo. Im in love with your car bro. It looks awsome

[BigBoss]

:-O Cheers Hussy you are a legend!!! you really got me thinking now....

[HussySV6]

All good mate GoodLuck

Hussy, I like the idea of custom badges..
Brilliant idea !!!

Bigboss, you are one lucky SOB.

I love the look of your car. I wish I could go badgeless (Damm Holden with the Holes for early VE models).
When I HAD to replace the badge on mine, I was thinking the same thing.
HSV Badge (Terrible idea I thought, because mine is obviously no HSV,)
Chev Badge (These badges are now more common on commodores than the Holden Badge)
Vauxhall Badge (Like on the VXR8, a possibility, but then you would need to change badge throughout)
Pontiac Badge (Would be PERFECT if you had G8 front end on the thing like those special edition SS models)

I won't suggest what to put there, but it does look a bit bare as is. What's wrong with the stock GMH badge though?
I like the lip......same as mine.

I HATE those rims so much but mate, they looks hot az on your car. You should go for the G8 diffuser mate! Also wat bagde is on the LEFT side of your car :S

DAM!! just ordered one i need a badge asap as i have two stupid holes to cover!! the vauxhall could be an option aswell

[Woollie]

I reckon a big oversized Holden badge....if that exists

This would look good over the black Holden Badge Vn,vp,vr,vs,ss | eBay

its a GT badge. pontiac G8's were released in 3 levels, the base G8 (3.5L V6, 5spd auto), the upgraded GT (6.0L L76, 6spd auto) and the prestige GXP (6.2L LS3, 6spd man).

to be honest i quite like the pontiac badging, bet it turns a few heads

paint the garnish white

[BigBoss]

White? Why white?

[dzach23]

Maybe remove the ring from around the lion,

[BigBoss]

Haha, thanks for that, I almost photoshopped the exact same thing last night, I could not decide if i liked it or not, I also tried just the lion head that looked ok as well..
