Anyone else think debadging is stupid

Btw where do u get the decals that goes in the "PONTIAC" on the bumpers for the 97 to 03s. Those are sweet to me.
 


Personally if I could, I'd remove and fill in all the pontiac emblems and badges on the car if I had the money to do it. (fill and paint)
 
Personal preference...
My truck is even wearing the dealer sticker.
My car.. it lost all it's badges based on them being half broken and missing etc. The Regal badge is pretty fragile, when I cleaned and waxed up the car...they pretty much fell off. Worst case scenario is that they mistake me for a Century. Let'm....it's a much slower and relaxed car.

To all of you that get your panties in a bunge when someone calls your car a Grand Am... maybe you should have gotten something that doesn't look similar to one? Heck..a GP is just a GA that got enough water to grow into a real car.
 
The main reason why I take the badges off my cars is that it makes it a whole lot easier to wax the car. I am not spending extra time with q-tips and horse hair brushes trying to get all the garbage out of the lettering of the badges, so I do it for my sanity. :o

i would take AMG badges off a mercedes. i would take STI badges off an STI. badges ruin lines.

I agree. I have always removed all of mine. It's like leaving the tags on clothes, just looks silly.
 
There are some cases where you can't tell what the car is without the badge. The E46 is a good example of this.
 
Badges get stuck on buffers and rags and ruin them. Then the letters break and makes your mediocre car look worse. Additionally, I'm not going to advertize for some used car dealership three states away or something.
 


I think it depends on the car and sometimes with the way body styles are its not always easy to tell I sad a station wagon looking car the other day wondered what it was come to find it was a Malibu the Malibu's I always seen were more like a sedan look so ya never know however on my own GP I am planing on De badgeing because when you wax it they are a pain to work around and get clean

See thats the difference then. lol. People outta know these things.
 
Know what I reallly love? The badges that don't belong. We all seen them abut 4 months ago I saw a chevy chevette (remember them) had turbo badges and stick on vents and hood scoops and the guy getting in thought he was sooooooooooo bad. It was pretty funny to see him strutting to his car. Had a cheapie paint job too where they painted over the rust, but the Turbo badge was the kicker

I like that but how would you do it? The bumper is flexible and body putty would just crack and fall out no? What would you use?
 
How does taking the cheap ugly badges off your car make your car look cheaper?




I just took off the Grand Prix on the back and the 3800V6 on the sides. I left Grand Prix on the doors. Looks much better.
 


I like certain badges on certain cars.

Mine? Hell no. The rear end was covered in several dealer badges (all for the same dealer). I don't know what the hell they were thinking. Looked like an 8yr old with a sticker/badge book was let loose upon it.

That was the first appearance mod I did lol.

There is flexible filler.

example, there was a Mitsubishi tri diamond in this front bumper. I had it filled with flexible filler.
