The new 16 has a great example, IMO:I think the red white and blue badge on the side looks good on a silver, white, blue or black car , but they look horrendous on a Garnet car like mine. So they came off within the first day. Also when you take badges off, it's much easier to detail the car, they don't rip up your foam pads, and the detail goes easier.
Because I'm slow then, sorry it never occurred to me. I always thought people did that to make a sleeper.

Taking off the camaro logos on the sides on white paint made the side line look twice as good in my eye. The car appears even bigger and more curvy.

Also the red SS badges scream for "look at me" attention whoring imho. I prefer to let the exhaust do the talking

That's the part I don't understand. My eyes always catch the cars without badging.

I knocked 2 tenths off my quarter mile by debadging.
