I was looking for RS badges to do this:
And came across this:
Looks nice, right? That's what I thought, till I saw the price:

$499?! For door handles?
Unfortunately, the RS badges aren't priced much better. $23 each. If it was $25 for the two I need, I'd buy them, but $46 dollars for two badges, ehhhhh. I'll pester my dealership to see if I can get a deal on RS badges. My plan would be to put RS badges on the bottom corner of the door like the Cruze has, add the turbo badges like the picture above, and take the turbo badge off the hatch.

499 is steep as hell haha
I'm thinking of putting regal GS turbo badges on my cobalt.....But I'm not sure how it'll look or go over.
At the moment I'm completely debadged aside from the wheels and the front grille.

I've gone back and forth on debadging the hatch. I like the Sonic badge, frankly, and I don't want take the RS off the hatch. I wish I could cleanly remove the bowtie on the front, but it'll just leave a bowtie imprint behind. Right now I have red vinyl on the gold of the bowtie, I'm going to switch to black on that and try to black out the chrome on the hatch handle (it's too much).
I don't really like where the turbo badge is on the hatch, it feels out of place, but I like the badge itself. Doing what the first picture shows seems like a nice compromise.

I do like the door badging.
The old SS Cobalt was like that, except it said Supercharged.
Mine had the Turbocharged badge on the trunk, but I prefer the clean sort of sleeperish look.
No badges on my car makes people question what the hell it is.

they are billet aluminium... I do like that. And the anodizing is quite nice.
CNC first run products are not cheap. The more poeple who buy them though, the cheaper they 'should' become.
Its honestly a cool part though. You might never see another person have that in the wild.
Could be worth a shot to email and ask if they could go any lower, but presumably not though.

It's a really cool part, and looks really high quality, but it's just sooooo expensive.

No doubt its expensive. But quality, american made, comes with a pricetag these days....
