I would never buy a used debadged car. It's like you are trying to hide what it is. Or maybe embarrassed or something. Just my take on it, don't like "generic" car look.

I've de-badge all my cars. They look cleaner and if people have to ask what kind of car it is then I can avoid any further conversations. lol

ZionsWrath · 11-10-2013, 10:42 PM

That sounds rather silly. There is still a giant subaru logo in the front and rear center. Nothing generic about it.

If you want to reason why someone debadges I would think it is more to do with they care about the look of their car. Do you really think I (or aynone else who debadged) went out spent more than 25k on a car and am embarrassed to own it? lol

Debadge. Because add lightness. And it looks clean.

Badge or no badge is fine... Only way it would appear cheap is of you put a Scion badge on! (Looking at you Japan!) LoL

Wow that's exactly what I want on my BRZ. Black roof/sharkfin with tom's tails. How'd you get the gradient on spoiler?

Trunk is carbon replacement painted with the gradient.

For roof, unless you have $, better to just wrap it.

You're posts are always insightful and informative. I'm glad you participate here.

Idiot.

It cleans up and de-clutters the rear and I, for one, don't mind if someone asks me what car I'm driving. I'm really looking forward to getting the front debadged in the spring. Haven't if I'm ditching the rear badge or changing it too a STi pink badge.
