Installed TURBO Emblem on New Car

Ordered this TURBO emblem on ebay. Nice quality with good tape.

Installed it on my Buick Encore this afternoon when I got home from school.

The Encore has a 1.4L Turbo that moves the car along very well.

LOL. Well, it is a 1.4L turbo, so I thought I'd just add the sticker. Not good?

I like it. Nice, subtle low-key touches is the way to go IMO.

Shame that Toyota doesn't make vehicles that look as nice and classic as the Encore. They, along with Honda, have gone off the deep end mostly in styling.

That's precisely what I was going after.

Just some gentle teasing between friends

Thanks. I just wanted to do something small to personalise the car.

I've only had the Encore about 3 weeks now, but so far I've enjoyed every minute driving this car!

As much as I think it's cool, after installing those killer JDM wheels on your Yaris, there's no way I could like it more than your Yaris. I find my eyes wandering over to them on the left of the first pic you posted above.

If anyone needs me, I'll be over here holding out for you to slap some springs on the Yaris and really bring it home

Still love the Yaris. Funny thing though, my wife is still driving the Yaris and I'm driving the Encore.
