I like the badges imo. Looks plain without it.

My car is completely debadged, and I love it. Looks a lot cleaner. Do it.

I pulled the sidemolding and love it, but I left my T/A badges and such. I'm also creaming a bit over those wheels.

Debadging looks good on Trans Ams/Firebirds but not on Camaros. I think your car looks great!

Removing the side molding makes the line across the middle of the door match the line of the rear bumper (the highlighted area right above your clear corner. not the separation between the panels), but the side molding does match the small protrusion below the turn signals in the front bumper... clean ride either way... i like the badges and molding. +1 on the window tint

They have a kit to pop the doors open w/ a FOB and when the battery runs down you can have a "hidden" switch somewhere in the car to pop it manually.

EDIT: I've always like the clean look. So out w/ the badges. Besides its not like, the car doesn't scream "TRANS AM" already without using the badges.

I may be alone here, but I think Camaros and Trans Ams look better without badges.
Posing as a V6 is just good clean fun.

I think you should de-badge it. Or leave the LOTB badges but remove everything else. Either would look good.
