Default remove emblems or leave them on- help me decide (pics)- POLL

well, i;ve been considering the idea of removing the Trans Am embelems from the sides of the car, as well as the Last Of The Breed badges. i like them, yet i'm thinking about going for a cleaner, sleeker look. i never really thought about removing the rear SLP and LS1 5.7 emblems until recently, but once i did a quick job on MS paint i'm really thinking about it.

just curious as to how you all feel about the emblems. i've added some before/after's that i did on MS Paint.

these first 3 are all for the side.
-the 1st is original
-the 2nd is minus the T/A and LOTB emblems
-the 3rd is minus the T/A and LOTB emblems and pillar bird and LS1tech decal




these next few pics show the before/after's if i were to remove the rear emblems

I vote remove em all. But isn't the "Trans Am" suppose to be under the door molding? I've been kicking around pulling the molding and T/A emblems off the side of mine too. Just makes the car look cleaner imo.

Yes, keep them all except the bird on the pillar by your window, remove that, move the Trans Am to its correct location, and call it a day.

I would remove them all and replace the Trans Am where it is supposed to be. The Trans Am in the middle of the door for whatever reason (wrecked, previous owner didnt know where to replace them) looks way out of place. And the rear just looks cluttered to me withh all the stuff on the panel. The pillar birds never looked good to me. The were on my previous ws6 I bought I I took them off quick.

I'd say keep the sides on..

And put a black WS*6 emblem on the back, they look good with the red/black theme

Lose all rear emblems, LOTB badge, and pillar bird. Then put the TA emblems in proper place, and add black WS.6 to rear. Thats the best combo

Like a few of the others have said, fix the sides, and remove the rear emblems. If you don't like it, you can always replace the emblems.

I personally don't like the third brake light either. I think it looks a little tacky personally. Other than that, the car looks really clean. Looks like you are taking good care of it.
