Debadging

[supercowpowers]

x2 the suggestions to remove the engine badge. I've been thinking about ditching just the "V6" badge on mine. It didn't come with a spoiler, so doing that would make it look just like the regular 4 cylinder models.

I can certainly see a "2.5GT" or "V6" or "GT" or "V8" or any other badge indicating that you paid extra to go faster being construed as intent to speed. It may be the difference between getting a warning or not.

If you're driving crazy and fast enough to get called in, your model badge should be illegible anyway, so removing or modifying it wouldn't provide that much stealth, methinks.

I just like the way a debadged car looks... its like art, the designs (like the emblems) should stay, however, letters and numbers do nothing to improve the looks of your car. It is a marketing ploy, so people see that you have a bigger engine and want the numbers on their car too. Who cares.... CBR actually thought my car was a 325.... but again, I don't really care Most, people know my car is fast if I want them to because I leave them in the dust.

Oh yeah, I "debadged" (de-stickered really) my bike too... and my flat screen HD insignia tv

Doesn't help to de-badge mine, everyone still knows what it is.

Especially since the name is embossed into the rear fascia.

While the full debadging would look sharper, I think I'll take off the 2.5GT whenever I have some free time. Underbadging for misperceptions FTW!
