I took off all of the Saturn emblems except the redline one on my car. I don't want my car to be easily identified. Now I have holes where the emblems were. Any ideas on what to put in their place? I would prefer some kind of emblems, as opposed to filling the spaces in and repainting. And I don't want anything like "supercharged" that will identify my car as fast. Thanks for the input. . .

ouch...

isn't there an indent where the sturn logo is anyway?
why ouch? Yes there is an indent. So I would like to put badges over each space, but don't know where to find them or where to look. . .

ouch cuz you took off the badges that left holes. anyways, try getting the black backed saturn logos, IMHO anythings else will be kind of lame unless you have a club badge or something that you want to sport, plus they'll look out of place with the indent being rectangular if you put any other shape in there.
I'm still missing why ouch. I could put the badges back on without any problem. And remember, the whole idea was to take off any badges that identify my car. So a black saturn badge is out of the question, although I do like them. Is it possible to buy larger redline badges? No one here knows what that is.

it's not so easy to just put them back on, well you can glue them back on or use some 3m double sided tape. aside from that you're missing the point that it says SATURN on your bumper...
thanks for the tip. You must have gone to college for that wisdom. I haven't decided yet what to do with the bumper. The emblems are a problem much easier to deal with at the moment, and requiring much less money too obviously.

yeah, it was emblem shaving 101 :rolleyes:
Speaking of bodywork, anybody know a good paint and body in houston that can fix these scratches for a reasonable amount of $ and time? Thanks

I can see the logic in taking all the "Redline" or "supercharged" stuff off, but like....people are gonna know it's a Saturn, logos or not.

Ah, the old "I really have no answer for that question, so I'm going to be a dickhead and ignore it, and instead, resort to attacking the way you asked the question, because that makes me a badass." trick.


Good one.

The holes are only in the sides and on the hood. The emblems are glued on the back and came off without a problem.

Ah, the old "I didn't read the previous posts which previously addressed your comment" trick.

I know the bumper says saturn on it. If that were taken care of, I don't think many people would know that it is a saturn. So, with new emblems, and maybe a new bumper, I think it would be up in the air what people thought it was. Besides, what did my quote have to do with being a "badass." I hardly feel the need to compete with anyone here in regards to anything. . .But I do, like, enjoy when pointing out when people write like they talk. . .
What is the reason for not wanting people to know what you drive? :confused:
Most likely he is embarassed when hangin' with his import bros'. You know the honda boys & toyota dudes. :D

No, I read it.

I wasn't talking about the bumper. I'm talking about the overall look of the car. Even without the "Saturn" on the bumper, people would still know it's a Saturn because it looks like a Saturn. It looks almost exactly like a regular Ion. The only big differences are the front and the rims. From the side you can't tell the two cars apart really.

I write how I talk, so what? Last time I checked, I wasn't writing an English paper.

That said, what kind of badges do you want on there, just some oversized RedLine badges?

Um, ok.

I want everyone to wonder what just beat them.

Besides, import bros? I know nothing about the import or tuner market. If I were driving some tricked out rice rocket I would probably be fired. . .
