You know what would be sa-weet instead of the badge...a sensor. Something that would beep inside the car when you're within 2" of something, so you know when you're about to F up your lip before it happens!

If you are going badge off, decide before painting and fill the badge indentation.

Otherwise, badge on.

I like it either way. I had badge on and currently have no badge (filled). Do what you like.

LOL. I was going to say it is not all that exciting. Just imagine the TTE lip smooth all the way across. Here is a recent one from another member:
