Cool Debadge??

Im posting a poll whether I should take the trans am badges off my doors. I already removed the side molding strip. I think it will clean it up and who doesnt know what kind of car it is. Probably gonna do it anyway but thought a poll would be fun. Its a NBM TA fyi. Let me know what you think..

I dont like it on TAs.

I think the Trans Am looks good on the door, especially if you've got it painted an accent color.

I hate the side molding too. Remove the molding but leave the TA badging. I think the door looks like a cheap V6 with out the Lettering. Yes I realize the doors are the same but the letters kind of break it up a little. JMHO

Much "cleaner" without. Those who don't know what it is don't care.

I even put stainless formula emblems on it because it would look good against the stainless side vents....wrong. I am sitting on some nice stainless emblems in my dresser and prefer it that way. Since yours are body colored they should be off by now. They clutter up the side and detract from those nice wheels you have there.

The after shot is killer. I'd do the same but mines not a WS6

What size tire are you running? Looks like you should go wider.
