Reply to "Badges.....(there’s a bad joke here somewhere!)"

Do a search for ‘emblems’and ‘emblem placement’ - there is quite a bit of helpful info on this site. The links noted above are very helpful, too.

I ordered my badges and emblems from stoddards.com. Not cheap, but I liked the quality.

I decided to use a clear drying emblem adhesive. There are a variety of options available at any auto parts store (3M, Permatex, and others). Using an adhesive requires that the studs on the backs of each emblem be ground off flush before mounting, but if you take your time and are careful it’s a fairly simple task.

Finally, there are wide ranging thoughts and philosophies (on this site and others) regarding adding the P badges to replica cars, from those totally opposed . . . . to those all in. I feel like - badges aside - I’m already emulating an original car with just simply the body shape and style, why not just go ‘all in’? After all, I had the car built for ME, not anyone else, I love the way it looks with the badging details, and ultimately I am completely comfortable explaining to anyone what the car IS, and also, what the car is NOT.
