Cool A-spec badge new home

So I was looking for a new home for my A-spec badge and I wanted to know what you guys think, Yay or Nay?

I cant feel it against my back and its sticks perfectly. I think it looks good against the ebony interior. I am still thinking about leaving it and getting one for the passenger side.

Will it fit on the lower section of the steering wheel. I think the regular tl wheels is different than the type S but make it similar.??

Definitely creative...as long as it doesn't hurt/hit your back while driving...it actually looks pretty cool, but having it embroidered on the seat=a definite yes!

Yeah I tried both places. I have the carbon on the area between the shifter and cup holders so it looks a little funny. The flip up compartments are bowed so it doesn't fit there either lol.

I think it looks good. Definitely get another one for the passenger front seat.

Well Ill give you credit for your imagination. But NO emblem should go where you sit unless its stitched into the seat. HOnesetly.....you dont think that would bother you while driving? Some people have put it on their trunks, it looks really good actually!

The storage door bows out, so I sanded down the back so that it was thinner and convex so it hugs the door. Thanks for the suggestion

yea- looks sick for a photo- I think it would look even better if one were on each seat (just front), but again just for photo purposes. Nice idea!

I was thinking of doing the same thing in the same location but not with the actual emblem. I was going to do it with a small sticker. I think the actual emblem is too big...and not to mention overpriced. If you wanted to do all 4 seats it would be $20x4!

I have brushed metal "A" logos on the headrests since I bought the car. People always compliment it.
