Default JL Audio badge on trunk? What do you think?

Whats up everybody!
Long time no talk. Being a new dad has proven very difficult to do anything with my car or spend time on the forum like I used to. I miss yall though its nice to see a lot of people still on here from when I was. Any who...I dont think ive posted any updates with my car and ide like some opinions on an idea I have. Well since the last time I updated I don't think I mentioned my cars new audio set up. I have Jl audio everything c3 6.5's in doors and rear deck. 1 10W7 in the high output box and a HD900/5 driving all of it. So that being said I purchased the badge off the back of the W6, ill post a pic. My idea is strip all badges off of trunk. Get rid of key lock mechanism and replace that exact spot with the JL badge. I think it would look pretty friggin sweet personally but cant decide. Ive had many mixed opinions from friends lol SO honestly what do you think? Just the center part of the pic though mot the horizontal bars.

I wouldn't go through all of that hassle of removing, and filling just to put something on there that wasn't your car-related.

Welcome back, congrats on the new arrival.

About your old account, PM Taz, JJ, Mike, or one of the other MODS they can help you with that I believe.

Thats what everyone else has said Enzo, everyone has told me its ganna get me broken into lol I should probably take the warning. It probably is way to much work. Can the lock be removed and still be able to latch? I more than likely won't do this, might just use it for a trunk lid liner centerpiece. Its a sweet badge though so I gotta use it somewhere haha
Thanks Jomao Ill PM one of them right now. I liked my old account more

I wouldn't do it -- not that someone is going to break into the car but it just might look... off. Plus it's a lot of work to shave the keyhole off.

JL's mustang the "JL 350" is what gave me the idea. I think that stang looked amazing and thats a good lookin badge. BUUUT the more I think about Ill prolly just strip is down bare and leave it that way.
