	debadging [Archive] - E46Fanatics
		I find it funny how guys with 323/325's debadge, and get ranted on by some of the 328/330 guys because they claim that they are trying to hide their smaller engines, but yet, I don't see anyone give any 328/330 owner sh!t for debadging his or her car.
		I debadged my car the day I got it, just because I think it is really weird to have a badge on one side of the trunk.
		Just debadging is so common here, that I want my car to fit in, tho the diplo plates are a givaway, but the paint is almost off them, so they're hard to see as well.

	RE: debadging the mazda
		I have done this on every car I have owned for the last fre years and it is very easy and takes only about 30 minutes after some practice with no scratches at all.
		Well Im not a man of patience so I went ahead and debadged the 6.
		Just in case anyone else is wondering, the 2006 m6i does not have marker holes under the "mazda".

	Hyundai Azera Accessories - CarSpace Automotive Forums
		While you are out enjoying your Azera the debadgers are sandpapering the Michelin logo off the tires and trying to find a way to scrape the Infinity logo off the stereo.
		Like allmet33 and floridabob1, my debadging has nothing to do with not being proud of a Hyundai or having too much time on my hands.
		It has more to do with perceived cleaner lines from my perspective and the "mystery" factor of people not knowing what the car is. It has caused numerous people to engage me in conversation about the car.

	Debadging a Volkswagen Grille (Site not responding. Last check: )
		It is possible to buy debadged grilles from upwards of £60 but if you do it yourself you should be able to halve this cost.
		The mod is applicable to most wide slatted grilles such as the late Corrados, post 88 Golfs, late mk1 Cabrios, post 88 Jettas, Rallyes and the like.
		If you used Halfords satin fl paint and took lots of time over the smoothing then you should have a factory look debadged grille as well as the satisfaction of having done it yourself.

		Some debadge so people will think they have a better car, some debadge their car to make it a sleeper (if they have the bigger engine).
		Most debadge because it looks cleaner and is easier to wax.

		For the record, a lot of people who debadge their car are trying to give the impression of driving a higher end version of a vehicle.

	Acura TSX Community - Debadging -- What's the point?
		I saw a debadged G35 the other day, and it looked a lot cheaper to me. I can't explain why, but the lack of the silver badges seemed to give the paint a more plastic-like look rather than a sleek metallic look.
		Debadging obviously makes the car different, however it removes the luxury look from the car.
		According to research out of Super Street Magazine debadging any Honda (Acura) vehicle adds up to 20+ HP since the emblems cause so much friction to the rear wheels when more downforce is needed.

		Some of my friends were import (ricer) fanatics and they all debadged their cars because they said it looked cleaner.

		Lightening the flywheel can make a large difference in the way the car engine responds and revs although there are drawbacks and compromises to take into account
		Alloy wheels are one of the most popular styling options but there are a few pitfalls and points you need to look out for when choosing your rims
		Debadging is a very simple modification that improves the look of the car.

	my experience with debadging (long)!
		what i found was that unless your BMW is brand new, debadging will leave a shadow and i couldnt get rid of em no matter what i tried.
		debadging is real easy, use a hairdryer to heat up the glue, then use a thin dental floss, taking care to pull towards the emblem while cutting through to minimize damage to the paint
		Speaking of badges......Those of you that have debadged your 7.

		Boy racers also tend to forget that bumpers are primarily designed to protect the car from minor impacts and so the bumper designs are more for show than for safety, cracking under the slightest pressure, and causing the boy racer to find it even more difficult to negotiate speed bumps.
		DEBADGING - It is not much good to the boy racer if their car looks like a Cossie but still has the telltale XR3 badges on the back.
		To make sure everyone knows the boy racer's car is "pukka" many will remove all of the badges from the rear of the car, or replace them with badges for the car they wished they had.

	Debadging question - Page 3 - Autopia Car Detailing Forum
		In my experience, I have learned the hard way that you need a good solvent to dilute the glue.
		The last thing I debadged I ended up making a mess of the paint because I finished the first aerosol bottle of Goof Off TM and thought I could get through the rest w/o it.
		I debadged my trunk and it hasn't come out well.

		I'm pretty good a detailing but i have a question about debadging my truck.
		I have a 2002 dodge ram 2500 (the 2nd Gen body style 94-02) I had the driver side of the truck repainted recently and the body shop left the emblems and molding off the truck for me but they didn't take off the tail gate decals.
		What usually happens is the heat softens the adhesive enough to get the badge off with the floss, but leaves some adhesive behind.

	Acura TL Community - Debadging?? (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Oh, the "A" (standing for acura) cannot be removed like this, its screwd in so if you remove you will have 2 holes in your trunk...of course, you can fill those up and paint them=BADASS...the letteres will come out with the heat and peal method i told above.
		If someone was ashamed about their car, they would probably sell it rather than debadge it.
		If you want to do that, you can buy the TL from the 04 off this store or just rip one out of the first 04 you see around...it should take you 1minute.

	Debadging a Hybrid ? - GreenHybrid - Hybrid Cars (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Anyway, since debadging my FEH of hybrid status was one of the first things I did, I felt I should share my experience!
		I've also been in a multiple rollover accident (that I walked away from-thanks safety package!) in a debadged FEH.
		Come to think of it, I think debadging a hybrid is probably safer in an accident because that way people won't try to protect themselves from a danger that really isn't there.
