| I guess that depends on your definition of 'ok.' |

i think it MIGHT look ok if it were indented into the hood so it lays flat, but a big plastic badge sticky up will prob look tacky.
and it looks good on the BMW's because of the stlye of their front grills. it just wouldnt flow the same with the tc grill. |

| I read somewhere that the reason Porsche (and perhaps other manufacturers) will put that emblem on their front hood is to give you a place to push down to shut it (instead of putting fingerprints on your paint)... but since most of us just drop the hood to shut it, I guess it's not really necessary. |

| No like in my opinion, but it's your car, you're free to do whatever you want to it. |

| It looks like crap on a BMW as well IMO ( I think it was a dumb choice for them to do it). So no :) |
