It basically just displays the model and engine information for your car – things like ‘3.5L V6’ or ‘Limited Edition’ – right on the outside. Sometimes it’ll also have the VIN, though that’s becoming less common to put right on the exterior. It’s usually a plastic or metal badge, held on with adhesive or small mounting clips. Think of it as identification. It lets people quickly know what kind of car you have. Beyond that, it sometimes plays a small role in the overall styling, just finishing off the look of the vehicle. It’s a cosmetic piece, mostly. Honestly, it’s not critical to how your car runs. Your car won’t stop working if it’s missing. But it does affect resale value and can be a pain if you’re a stickler for having everything original. If it gets damaged or falls off, you’ll notice – it leaves a blank spot. Plus, some classic car owners really want to keep everything factory – correct. You can find replacements pretty easily, even online at places like Fixparts Online, and they’re generally straightforward to install – usually just peel and stick, or clip it into place.
