9lumina6 Posted February 5, 2011 Report Share Posted February 5, 2011 The tought came into my head of putting the 3 "GTX" badges in the locations SLP put them on GTXs on my GTP since it does have the authentic hood, spoiler and catback..... What are your thoughts on this? Leave the GTP badges since it's not a real GTX....or put the GTX badges on because of the appearence/catback mods that are on the car are all off a GTX???

Twenty Posted February 5, 2011 Report Share Posted February 5, 2011 In cases like this, I vote for either the official badges (In this case the GTX badges) or slightly altered versions of the originals to show that it's inspired by, but not a 'real', example.

9lumina6 Posted February 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2011 I had it de-badged for quite a while at one point.... but I honestly like how it looks with the GTP ovals back on it, and am on the fence about the GTX badges in place of te GTP ovals and the GTX badge below the trunk lid. It's not like I'm hiding anything with it de-badged. The car is loud as f**k. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Euro Posted February 5, 2011 Report Share Posted February 5, 2011 accurate badges or no badges I agree. I thought about doing that to mine, but then realized that it wasn't a real one so I got rid of the emblems haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twenty Posted February 5, 2011 Report Share Posted February 5, 2011 It's whether or not the car was a ___ from the factory that matters. Anyone can re-create a car but only those made by the factory are 'real'. I still say try coming up with a custom badge, since it's inspired by but not a true GTX.

Night Fury Posted February 5, 2011 Report Share Posted February 5, 2011 I feel that pretending your car is something that it is not is the dumbest logic ever WHAT makes my car NOT a GXP??? The ENGINE. If I put one in there, why the fuck would anyone argue that it's not a TRUE GXP? Sure, it wasn't one from the factory. But now it is. So it can be a GXP. If someone ASKED, It's not like I would DENY its history...... But if it looks like a GXP and smells like a GXP and drives like a GXP and hauls ass like a GXP........... It can be called a friggin GXP! lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GOT2B GM Posted February 5, 2011 Report Share Posted February 5, 2011 I dunno, why try and make it something that it's not, kind of like who are you trying to impress. If anything its more fun to have a base model car that has the power of the top model. Sleeper effect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
