Debadge ftw. I took all mine off. The only thing left on mine is the bird on the back on the filler panel.

Looks boring and naked without them to me.

The door molding looks like **** though, good riddance to that.

i had a friend with shaved door handles on his neon... i figured the "" would let you guys know i was clowning around. have you decided which way to go chaman?

The moldings most probably will go. The LOTB badges and TA lettering will remain, perhaps only the LOTB emblems?

Now the tints are a no-no. I love how it looks specially at night when the dash is all light up. This is no DD and why not let people see your face when driving? LOL!

Hmm, I've never thought about de-badging mine because I figured it would look too plain, but I suppose after seeing that pic it isn't too bad. But me personally won't be de-badging my car because I like them too much. They just add some "needed" (opinion) detail.

I removed the side molding and side badges on my z28 and I really like how clean it looks, plus its easier to apply and remove wax. I did notice that I get more ricers trying to play with me though.

I tinted my car just to keep the sun from beating on the seats so when I sit down inside my *** isn't on fire (black leather).

Just get rid of the side moulding. Big difference there. Everytime I see cars completely debadged, it 99% of the time looks worse in my opinion. Like the owner just wanted to be faddish. Example: kids in Civics who think their ride is "clean" all because they removed the badges..

Thats what one of my friends did. He has a 89 Iroc Z. He wanted a DD for school. he went out and bought a 02 camaro v6. said his car looked plain, went and bought a set of RS emblems from emblem pros, response was "Much Better"

Posing as a V6 is just good clean fun.

^ What color was your WS.6 and how old was it when you pulled the molding?

Not a fan of debadging or !sidemolding. !sidemolding i could live with it, but when debadged it just looks too bare and plain. Tint's also a must for all my illegal activities alone, not including how cooler it keeps the car and how better it look's appearance wise since half our cars glass really.
