Another reason to do it (in my area): you want to pay a fine for illegal car conversion!

Yeah, usually the debadged cars I see around me are 3-series and other entry-level luxury sedans. I think the owners want to try and trick people into thinking they're actually driving an M3, etc.
If you debadge an M3, RS3, etc then I think that's actually a pretty cool flex

The top reason: the badge fell off for some reason, and I do not care enough to replace it.

Or in my case, half fell off and that just won't do... but then the glue still is half on and now it looks worse, so let's just cover it with a bumper sticker, eh?

it comes and goes but some years school age kids will gain a car emblem theft fixation. I lived on the same street as a high school and every second year or so any remaining emblems on cars parked outside would be stripped off

Another reason not listed: fuck the manufacturer. I don't pay, I don't drive around town, I don't live my life to be an advertisement for you. ¯\(°_o)/¯
Ford has done me wrong. Ford has done America wrong. But for the right price, I still might consider driving a Ford. Why cut off your nose to spite your face? But you bet your ass I'd debadge that motherfucker. Ford doesn't deserve to be publicly acknowledged by me on my goddamned vehicle, bought with my goddamned money, to be seen by others. Nah. I'm not doing that.
Get a salvage Ford, or a really ugly/deformed Ford, debadge it? Hell yeah. Let's go.
I also don't like explicitly branded clothing. Why do we pay to advertise for these people, like it's some kind of privilege or status? 🤨 Especially the most basic bitch stuff out there, manufactured by foreign slave labor. Idk, it's all dumb.

Has Ford owner I can tell you debadging a Ford won't stop anyone knowing its a Ford. They design it specifically so you don't need the emblem. Hell it fades off on most trucks and cars in a few months.
What I remove is any mention of the dealership. That I will advertise for.

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.

I'm usually anti dealer badges, but when we bought our Accord, the dealer said if we kept the dealer license plate frame on, we'd get free car washes for life. We took advantage of that many times. Seemed a fair trade to me.
