I used to have all of these (Chris Jensen still runs his)

Can't believe that was 6 years ago.

Actually had several sets - for that day when I repainted the car. Sold them on ebay a few years back.

Maybe I'm missing something but what's the point of putting TurboA badges on your car when it's not a TurboA, and will never be, you might as well stick on some Type-R decals too.

Some will argue that their build-up is actually better than the turboA and let that validate their reasoning for having the stickers/badges.

I removed mine as I am taking a different path with my own Supra. Even the TRD badge (shown in that pic) will likely come off - even though I do have the TRD SS Brake Lines. My new plan is that unless a company gives me money... there will be no stickers on the outside of my Supra. Heck... I even want to remove the "TOYOTA" from the rear trim.

I can see that these stickers/badges are a rare item and could be considered collectible.

Got to love ebay for these reasons alone, all brand new, all original:

I'm not building a "Turbo A" but, putting a "Turbo R" badge on a 7mgte would be blasphemous!
But, putting a Turbo A badge is at least the same 7m based engine (mine is built stronger than the A, anyway).

How much is the 3.0 turbo badge going for these days? I have an extra one lying around - even after the one I am keeping to replace the one that is currently on the car.

Thats the way I feel... When I first started my build I wanted to have a vinyl of every brand I had in my car... But as time went on, I realized that Im just givin those guys FREE advertising... So, you'll find ONE "brand" name on my car, and thats the ONE and ONLY company that stepped up to me when I asked for help with this... The one and ONLY company that gave me REALLY good deals and took care of me when I needed it "yesterday"... When I started my build, I asked for "sponsor" help, a company that would work with me, stay with me, help me and see me through this whole build... And this was the ONLY company that did... MVP didnt... 935 didnt... SupraSport didnt... HPF didnt...

So yeah, this is the ONLY company vinyl you'll see on my car:

Well, in Horsepowerfreaks defense, they did step up to the plate when it came to putting my car together, I won't put there stickers on my car because its mine and I bought all the parts. Plus their sticker doesn't look as good as the titan one:biglaugh:

On topic though, nice score on the badges, you should put them on your black beauty! Ditch the blades and get some nice black wheels. It'll look and perform better then any stock turbo A ever did :)
