Default TTE LIP...badge or no?

Just got my TTE lip put on today, haven't thrown the badge on yet. My buddy who installed it doesn't think I should put it on. I kinda sorta want to throw it on.

So for all you TTE lip owners? Did you use it or no?

Yes I know it's my car and I should decide but I'd like other fellow 2gs owners' opinions.

Pics would be nice!

ps: no, getting the lip modded to cover the badge area is not an option right now

Thanks,

T

I paid 180 something. It's a high end body shop around me, it's expensive but they have done a few things for myself and my buddy and the quality is top notch.

Here's the pic my buddy sent me a lil bit ago...I have yet to see it in person, can't wait to get out of work...i got his 2000 audi s4 for the day tho, not a bad "loaner"

i initially had my TTE lip without the badge. but there is an annoying imprint where the badge is supposed to be. it was annoying me to bad, i just slapped it on. ideally, i would have molded it flush.

if you aren't going to mold.. get the badge.

I think the badge looks dumb though. It focuses attention away from where you want it.
