You should think about how to make TL more V6 instead of adding emblem . I have nothing to say about that Nissan .

The V6 is the standard engine in the TL whether it be the 3.2, 3.5, or the 3.7 in the newer model. The V6 badge makes sense in a car where the V6 is an optional engine like the TSX. I wouldn't put that on the car.

That Nissan must be in the next Mad Max movie ....

TL's do not require a V6 emblem ...... as most TL owners know whats under the hood...

That always gets me. I didn't grow up in the muscle car era but I'm old enough to remember when "V6" designated an economy car. Now it's a bragging right I guess lol. Just like many cars from the '80s would have "OD" or "overdrive" badges on the exterior bragging about the extra gear.

I'm starting to feel old now. I remember the OD badges on a lot of Ford's back in the 80's. The old Bronco II's has that badge. Aonther one that was popular back then was the Fuel Injection Badges. I don't know about the V6 badge on the TL though. I do know a guy with an 07 TL type S that has 3.5 liter badges on his car. He also has type S badges on the fenders. Doesn't look too bad. I like the clean look of the stock badges on the car.

Oooh, what about the "ABS" badges that GM used to put on their cars? Maybe we should add some of those!

Suuure lol. You know the GM diesels of the '80s were the best ever..... I think the '80s diesel badges were more of a warning than an advertisement.

I wouldn't consider any of those muscle. The TL would out run any of them stock for stock (depending on the year of the Camaro). Drive a 500+ hp car back to back with a TL and your feelings can change quickly. Take a ride in a big block with an instant 500lbs of torque at any rpm to slam you violently into the seat and it's a grin you can't stop.

Yes, less is more.

Personally, I remove all my emblems besides the big A.
If it didn't have holes drilled in the trunk, I'd remove it in a heartbeat.
