Has anyone debadged their camaro ss? I have not seem too many sleepers on the forum.

family man · 03-03-2013, 06:43 PM

I plan on doing mine in the spring. I'm going to take off all the badges/emblems on mine.

I've painted all the emblems on my SS black. Stealthy and hard to see unless up close.

A good many of members on here have. Looks alot cleaner.

ST1LE · 03-03-2013, 07:42 PM

I have done mine, but not sure its much of a sleeper.

I will take them off of my the first few days after she gets here. I'll only leave the Bowties front and Back.

I don't think it makes much difference, most people think all Camaros have a V8 or is an SS. So if you debadge it you are still going to be asked all the time if you have a V8....I get asked it all the time and I have both 1LT and 323HP badges on my V6.
So in other words its more for aesthetics than going stealth.

Until Chevy starts paying me for advertising their name, naked it is.

I have debadged cars for decades (all makes - it's not about being ashamed of a brand, it's about a clean "look")

Doing it for looks is one thing but because you feel you are advertizing for them is just silly. Do you take the names off every product you buy?

I did it years ago. Looks so much better. I then added the whipple and didn't add any "supercharged" badges. Most think it's a V6 until I dust their ass.

I took off that fugly ass rear bowtie and dipped the front bowtie if that counts for anything.
