for what? IMO, it would look out of place on the car. unless maybe you put it in the engine bay somewhere.

The price is right - cheap enough. Where were you thinking of putting it on the car?

You're getting a '99 SSEi? Do you have one that you are in negotiations with?

Sorry about the lack of updatedness in the picture but it was the best one i could find that's up close
This is just a start, I know about the SSEi Emblem and what not, which is why i'm brainstormin ova herya!
Now Remember this would be on an SSEi, not the SE.

the badge in your PS is about twice its actual size, plus there is the letter right below it that makes it look funny.

Knowing what cars that badge comes from makes me all the more negative about it.

I know what you want to do, & I think its cool. I just dont like that particular emblem. If you can find someone to make a custom one, maby in the same font as our cars.

I thought the same at one point. I got the emblems, and still have them, but it looks out of place. If anywhere I'd probably put them in the engine bay or use them to decorate the wall that I have my other Bonneville memorabilia on.

Slightly of topic but, you asked in your own thread:

These are the most recent pictures I can find...since then my license plate has gone up there and another emblem or two.

The Window and the SSE badge came off my car after I wrecked it, I had got another door to replace it. The Key thing was a project in photography a little over a year ago, the picture in it is of my first meet. The Big drawing on the top right was also a photography project.
