Debadging a car
-
I agree, people will no, but debadging even that little oval? Taking it ou of the grill? That is very intentional, it doesn't occur by accident, it might even make some people go, "...huh."
I would refuse to have their emblems on my vehicle. I have my reasons. Unless somebody wants to buy me a nice one & leaving badges on was part of the conditions, by all means, drop thousands of dollars on me & make me a hypocrite. I am nothing if not practical. But if it's my money, on my Ford vehicle, all badges & emblems are being stripped off.

It's so that people have a harder time saying "yes officer it was a Toyota Camry" unless they're familiar with the body style enough to know it isn't a Honda Accord without the markings. "A truck" is less descriptive than "A black Dodge Ram 1500."

Especially the most basic bitch stuff out there, manufactured by foreign slave labor. Idk, it’s all dumb.
supreme is the supreme example of this tbh

That is fair. You get recompensated for providing ad space.

Look, avoiding Undercovers is half the reason I can tell a car by it's headlights or taillights, so sorry Nissan Altima with paper plates, I can tell you're a 2008 from 150m, day or night.

Because of other STi owners?

Not everyone is as adept. (And that Altima was probably recently purchased used, tbf lol).
Also I've seen a ~25yo undercover minivan with the paint half worn to primer in my area, that trick is less reliable here since 2010ish.

Idk exactly what you're referring to, I see a bunch with FORD put in on the grille. And that's the easiest debadge-job ever; you just buy an aftermarket clean grille. I think it looks very nice & clean.
Same thing with the tailgate, either find a way to tastefully remove the logos or buy aftermarket. I like the look of the "air flow" tailgates, or the straps.
Especially if you're buying a junker, and you don't care if it looks super nice...that's just free license to get creative & rip 'em off, cover up any way you see fit. Fuck Ford badges. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

the hood ornament stealing days were cooler… but most cars stopped putting them on.

If you debadge an M3, RS3, etc then I think that's actually a pretty cool flex
I guess it might slightly reduce the chances of getting stolen.

Even better if you put the badge of another car on it.

The weird thing is that the SAAB version, that's supposed to share a lot of parts, had a different wheel base even, because they changed so many things. SAAB being SAAB, they lost money on most 9-3x and 9-5x
