Well the plastic fake ones only give about 5hp, but if you spend the money on a real metal one you can gain up to 20hp.

Do you have DynoJet numbers to back that up? If you don't then I am calling BS. . .

Well you gotta remember that the GT-R emblem is only about 4"X4", You could get maximum hp if you had a large one made of vinyl that covers up the rear windshield.

Will be FAQ'ed and credit will be given... wait... I think your info is off. I will need to see a dyno graph and a timeslip before this question gets added to the FAQ, until then, I'm calling BS!

I tried this and was completely amazed by improvement in bottom end pickup, seems with just a GTR emblem the computer is tricked into thinking that it really is a GTR, I then added the GT emblems on the front qaurters, but this only gave small gains in hp but huge gains in sex appeal, I now have to drive with my doors locked cos everytime I stop at the lights the babes flock and fight each other just to get a ride.
Next week I'll order Cheston's Sticker then I'm off to the track, I HIGHLY RECOMEND THESE MODS, ESPECIALLY TO PPL WHO ARE IN THE EARLY STAGES OF MODDING !!!!

I dont have a GTR emblem, but I've heard that if you have GTR anywhere on your car it means you are "Gran Turismo Racing" modified. This easily qualifies you for the 400+ hp class. Either this or it means you've played the game for Playstation.

i think you would need at least 4 GT-R emblems to make up for the altezza's. I only have one now and it gives aroung 8 hp on a cold day. i'm ordering 5 more next week.

I removed the roof lining and replaced it with a velvet Elvis pic. The fat Elvis, of course.

AND... it glows in the dark!

Also I tricked out the courtesy lights in bubblegum pink...but then, everyone's doing that.

What if I have GTR lettered all across my car, in huge letters? Will that add even more power?

if it takes up more than 25% of the body of the car it doubles your hp rating.

What if I clear out the Altezzas for the 95-96 Max and use them as headlights? What kind of power do I get for that?
