Hey guys, has anyone debadged their car? I want to see a picture of it. Thanks.
Personally, I like the look of a debadged car, gives the vehicle a more symmetrical look especially in our case with the dual exhaust tips. Also makes detailing a little easier since you don't have to worry about dirt and grim getting stuck between the letters on the badges.Just out of curiosity, why do people go to the trouble of removing the badging info from the back of the car? It takes some of the fun out of showing off your beast (IMHO). When I don't recognize a car from behind I usually try and read the badges to find out what kind of animal it is. The CX3 is not a car that is instantly recognizable to the majority of people driving the highways and it is a nice gesture to let them satisfy their curiosity.

I used to be a regular on one of the Mazdaspeed sites and it was quite a big deal (along with the evil Mazda logo). I never quite understood the point of it.Just out of curiosity, why do people go to the trouble of removing the badging info from the back of the car?

LOL I guess I like to keep the badging because I advertise how little I pay - compared to the Mercedes I used to drive around when I actually worked for a livingBecause it makes waxing the car easier.
To be the best response ever, love your way of thinking.Because it makes waxing the car easier.
That I can understand, although it is still a bit weird because I would want to show that I have an expensive car. After all it's a status symbol.I used to be a regular on one of the Mazdaspeed sites and it was quite a big deal (along with the evil Mazda logo). I never quite understood the point of it.
Now, I did have an employer that liked his Mercedes. He drove a CL550 (and later a CL65) and his wife had a S550. I asked him why he de-badged his cars (BTW, this guy went to school with H.R Giger - not that this has anything to do with it; I just thought is was cool) and he said he did not want to "advertise" how much he paid for his cars...
Er.. because you like the car and would enjoy driving it.If I can afford a car like that, why wouldn't I show it off? What else is the point of buying it? LOL
