Just got mine installed, I'm rockin' the badge. Looks more complete IMO, rather than just having an empty cut out in the center of the lip.

I never put mine on for a few reasons...

One it looks cleaner w/o it on IMO

Two being that it's a front lip and it's bound to get scuffed up a little at some point. The badge is also rare, so if it were damaged it'd be near impossible to replace it.

Again just my opinion

i left mine off...the spot where it goes is barely noticable with no badge. when i placed the badge there to see what it looked like (double sided taped it there to get an idea) it really made you look at the badge. most people dont even notice the empty space for the badge.

much cleaner look without the badge.

I don't think it looks that bad with the badge. But I prefer it without the badge for a cleaner look (if indention was filled).

I had to wait a week or so after mine was installed so I could clean and attach the badge. To me, the indention got on my nerves. It just looked incomplete. I like it better with the badge and the TTE badge is not overpowering to begin with. If it was reflective or rainbow colored, then it would be a different story.
