Default Debadged/Demolded

Ok so I went ahead and yanked my TA badges off the doors, already have the molding pulled off. Figured I would stick a pic up. Looks alot cleaner

Am I the only one who likes a badge there?

I'm gonna have the Stainless Steel mirror polished "Trans Am" from DragonZ28 on there. My molding strip is removed. I think it will look really good. It just seems so empty, its really obvious something is missing.

Huh??? Wheels? RPO codes? Research and finger pointing? Hah!!! Yes, I changed the topic of the thread to question whether his ride was a real WS6. Seriously, re-read his post about "Look ma, no badges". Anyone figure out yet that I was referring to him not being badge-free? Wow, we seem to have a lot of defensive folks lurking around here tonite...

I knew what you are talking about. Since he said the car looks better without the "tack on badges", but yet he left the WS6 badge on.
