Default Supercharged badges vs. no badges

I'm hoping to make a final decision soon. One thing I know is that I don't care for the V6T badges...don't really understand why Audi puts them there when it's not a turbocharged engine. Anyway, what do people think about just having no badge at all versus going with the supercharged badge instead?

the supercharged badge is a bit weird to me. You would never put 'TURBOCHARGED!' on a new S6 or an A4 2.0T in big swooping letters. You'd call someone a homo if they did that on their car frankly.

I went no badges for about a month because I agree with Sakimano above, however the car looked bare. I ended up caving and bought a set. Overall I prefer the look w/ the badges.

I know what you mean about the car looking bare. Something looks missing when the car is de-badged.

I am having the red badges installed today during my 5,000 mile service. Don't care for the 3.0T and I like having red badges that match other red. If I had the carbon atlas inside I might be inclined to try the carbon fiber badges instead.

Not a fan of "bare" nor of the V6T badge, but DO like the carbon-fiber look Supercharged badge. That's what I have on my (Quartz Gray) car.

Badges or no badges, both are fine depending on your taste. Just not the V6T. No badges is cheaper and cuts weight! Take off the V6T and if you don't like the look, buy the badges. Then the question becomes CF or red badges. Decisions, decisions.
