Thanks Stratocaster! In your opinion how does it look, in person, with the wheel badge? Too big/too much? Or does it look good?

Albert that radiator badge, does look really good too!

Thanks guys.

Albert did a great job on his write-up too. I tried to figure out how to install the Rad badge there, and I had even talked (chat room) with Albert about his install about two months before he posted his "How to" thread.

I think it is a personal call on size. Some members think that the steering wheel badge is too large and wished there was a smaller version (like the rad badge). I personall like the larger size of the steering wheel badge. It fits cleanly into the interior look of the car.

If you want to see the size for your self, try this. Use the center cap from your stock wheels (wheel badge is exactly the same size) and hold it over your steering wheel.

This all started with Rick installing a Wheel badge on his steering wheel. So they have been installed.

Hey stratocaster, do you know why the radiator badge was discontinued?

You just need a bigger logo on your steering wheel and trunk .
Take a precise look at the steering wheel in a spanish Volkswagen clone SEAT car:

I saw some SEAT cars for the first time on my latest trip to europe this past summer.
SEAT produces lower cost cars than original VW cars for more than 5 years in Europe. The services and built quality are equal to VW. You get more gadgets for the money like stereo and navigation.
The SEAT Leon is a VW Golf clone, SEAT Toledo is a VW Jetta clone, Ibiza is a VW Polo clone. In Europe the SEAT brand is getting more important. I don't know if they are exported to other countries in the world outside Europe.

Something i have always wondered about, those badges that you glue onto the wheel, what happens if air bag goes off? Is that little piece of plastic not going to come blasting off twoards your face?
