Some moar pics, contemplating a badge,,,

This one is a gloss black MX5 rear trunk badge, its the same curvature as the front bumper and literally half the size, nice and subtle....
Its just sitting there with its post, I will shave the locator post since I dont have the holes anyway.
I also have a gloss black rear flying M to match that will replace the front if I go this route,,,

As for clear corners I got the new RXStrakes clear lenses, which will match my newer headlights which I painted all the plastic semi-gloss black,,,

i would do a badge, but i would do it in a color closer to the color of your car. kinda a tone on tone look.

i have the paint to do it to mine, but that is way down on the to do list.

run with it!

I'm thinking that badge looks a bit too small for the front bumper. I say go debadged.

I like the little black badge, I say go for it. But I'd go with the OEM clears.

i like the color matched badge would look great on your new bumper. but i do think your headlights could use some TLC.

I like it without the badge in my opinion, but either way it still looks great.
