Default What do you guys think about...??

I have been thinking about putting chrome or stainless steel SS badges on my car. But recently, I have entertained the thought of just debadging it. I have never seen an SS debadged and Id like to see any pics a debadged car if anybodies got em. I kinda think I like having the SS on the car though...I mean, Im kinda proud of it. Would it be worth taking them off? Thanks!!

It'd look like a V6 car with a Ram Air hood and SS spoiler w/o any emblems.

true.

It would make for a decent sleeper look though. But then again you have LT's, ory, and loudmouth...so much for the sleeper image.

I say do it.

I wouldn't do it... if I saw/heard it I would think it was an SS clone with the z28 emblems removed.

You'll have to take the badges off anyway to put the stainless pieces on. So take them off, stand back and see what you think about it.

Exactly!!

I guess I am just being stingy since the stainless and chrome badges are so damn expensive...
