Do you debadge your cars?
>>14777762
only when I'm a huge faggot, which is never.
What's the point in this?
>>14777801
to make a sleeper or make your car look cleaner
>>14777762
Only when prev owner is a turbofaggot and slaps shit like GTR badges in the altima i bought for DD.
Yes because badges look horrible.
>>14777801
it's a free tier "mod" mostly done by young ricers with base model vehicles. usually seen in conjunction with
>plastidipped gas cover
>broadway mirror
>tow hook
>super long colored lug nuts with or w/o a spike on the end
>stickers arranged at a 45° angle along the left side of the rear window
>giant banner along the bottom of windshield
>>14777801
to look like you have poor taste
The opposite
>mfw people debadge wrxs and call it an sti
>>14777841

>>14777762
no because I don't own a 325i
>>14777820
yet you have three stickers...
>>14778048
Why is not eating in your card bad?
Not "debadged" per se, but the Honderp badge did fall off my bustedass old Accord a few months back.
>>14777769
>>14778048
>tfw if I remove a badge I'll have the top row finished
kek oh well, idgaf. At least I'm not a tripfag.
>>14778102
Because obviously you're a fake car enthusiast unless you eat in your car, right? That whole thing is probably just one dude's board of opinions.
>>14777841
Top kek
I partially debadged my car because some of them looked like shit.
Debadged and rebadged.
>>14778048
What exactly is wrong with the 86/FR-S/BRZ? It's made for throwing around corners and having fun in, not racing a Mustang at the lights. Think hardtop Miata with space in the back to store things.
>>14778048
phew, safe
Somewhat related, I saw this today.

The only thing I take off is the fucking dealership advertisement stickers and plates/frames they always have to put on there.

They politely re-added their decal for me.

I kind of want desu
>>14777762
Depends.
I deleted the GS-R and VTEC badges off my Integra, all it says is Acura on the back now.
I did that because a few forums suggested it, better to look like an LS than to get your engine stolen because it's a GS-R.
Debadging anything else?
depends, most of the time I don't approve of it or care about badges, but I did help a friend rebadge his SRT-4 neon as an SXT neon, he then got it repainted without telling me and tore me a new asshole a few weeks later.
never knew it was him til he rolled his window down.
In general though it will always depend on the situation.
>>14777762
If by debadge you mean it fell off and I haven't put it back on yet because I'm painting it this summer so why put in the effort then hell yea I'm debadged as fuck bro.
>>14778048
In my defense, the intake was done by the previous owner.

we're cuttin it close, myers

>so close
>>14777805
The only people who debadge their cars are ricer faggots, it does not make your car look like a sleeper.
At best it makes you look like an idiot who thinks your car goes WICKED FAST BRAH when all you did was stick a glasspack from Autozone on and put in a K&N air filter.
I did because some faggot rear ended me and the faggot who repaired it misaligned the letters of the model, so it looked retarded. Thing is I rubbed too much while taking the glue off and faded the paint.
>>14777762
Back when I had an Infiniti G37, I debadged just the "I N F I N I T I" lettering on the trunk lid because it looked too busy. Major aesthetic improvement to just have the Infiniti logo.
What if my badges are literally falling off?
>>14777762
>tfw indents where my badges go
Fuck
>>14778048
Some of these are fucking dumb as hell and was probably written by a woman or lazy fuck who doesn't have the time or money to work on his car so he spends the majority of his time hating on people with attention to detail.
>Little tree air freshener
WOW WHAT A FAGGOT HE WANTS TO MAKE HIS CAR SMELL GOOD
>Nobody eats in my car
WOW WHAT A FAGGOT HE WANTS TO KEEP HIS CAR INTERIOR CLEAN
>$100 cleaning supplies
SERIOUSLY SUCH A FUCKING FAGGOT MAKING HIS CAR CLEAN IT SHOULD HAVE DIRT, PISS, AND SPLIT SODA ON THE SEATS OTHERWISE ITS NOT A REAL CAR
>Removed a badge to your car
I don't blame people for doing it. Some cars come littered with emblems in all four corners - TOYOTA CAMRY LE V6 DEALER NAME. We get it. Leaving the Toyota emblem (because everyone knows what it looks like) and Camry name would have been fine.
Also the bolt on exhaust really depends on the exhaust quality. Super loud, raspy, fake stainless steel - everyone hates that shit. If it's clean, resonated, high quality - a lot of people actually enjoy it.... except poorfags.
>>14780865
>tfw holes on my decklid for the badge
Luckily the JDM taillights say the model of the car in them (USDM say the make) and I can replace it with a JDM badge that only says GT that uses the mounting holes so it doesn't say the model of the car twice.

Does Karting for years and years count as trackday or auto-x experience. A lot of the people who do track days/burgerring shit are awful drivers because it isn't necessarily competitive, you can drive like shit on a track day and no one really cares.
I also only wrap and vinyl my car because its my job, I can literally do it for free like a janitor.
I don't see why getting info and tips from youtube is a bad thing. I could go and ask my family who are mechanics but they don't really work on my cars engine that often so I'd trust the word of an 30+ year expert on youtube than a 'real' mechanic who doesn't specialize in the area.
I also don't use facebook, but if i did I would join car groups on there - seems like the most likely way to get into track days/autox if you don't have friends into it already. How do you plan on getting non-internet info on cars if you don't network/socialize
I rate you faggot/faggot, you're probably a shitstain irl.
There's no hiding that my car is an econobox, so the least I can do is show pride in driving a Toyota and not something significantly worse.

I like my cars how I like my women, shaved

>little tree air freshener
Only partially. I cut the 35i off of my BMW M.
My car came that way with the badges in the glove box. How do I put them back on?
>>14777821
>giant banner along the bottom of the windshield
Do they not know it goes on the top?
>>14778048
I removed a badge because it was broken and replaced it with a non-stock one
>>14778048
>not having little tree air freshener
>>14777762
Yep
I took off the Wolfsburg badges on my Jetta.
>>14781232
Get some automotive adhesive and glue that bitch back on.

I took "S" off my car cause I got tired of all the fat Mexicans trying to race me at every light or riding my ass on freeways in their primered pepboys especial slammed civics
>>14777762
Whenever I see debadged cars, I assume they're driving the shitbox entry level version.
>debadged 3 series = 320i
>debadged C-class = C250
>debadged IS = IS250/200t
I take those stupid car dealership stickers off but leave everything else.
Mostly. I don't really like badges on my cars. But it depends on the badge placement, the ones that are built into the grill I leave on of course. If they are just glued on, I take them off.
Yeah I do.
I think they break up the lines. It's not like people won't know what it is. And if they don't then they don't need too.
>>14778704
>slightly worn badge
Now this is autistic. I bet you paid over a hundred monopoly notes for this painted piece of plastic too.

Nice Miata.
No, I've always thought that was stupid as fuck
>>14778048
>wheels @more than 2.0 camber
front wheels are -2.2 camber for functionality because I'm running 255's at the front on RE-71R's with 10k springs and I'm easily pulling over 1.2g's in the corners.
>sticker on front windshield
required by my racing league
>nobody eats in my car
he enjoys cleaning crumbs and having his car smell like shit on a daily basis.
>something is plasti-dipped
wheels are painted with no fucks given because they're track wheels.
>FRS/BRZ is a good car.
it is.
>member of a facebook car group
I don't see how wanting to socialize with car people is a bad thing?
>majority of your car knowledge is from youtube and forums
as opposed to what? going to car meets IRL and listening to some teenager talk about how his CAI adds 20hp? Listening to some old fart talk about how washing your car with a sponge is fine?
>has purchased over 100$ of car cleaning supplies in a year
I don't see how wanting a clean car is a bad thing?
>aftermarket bolt on exhaust
as opposed to what? using superglue and ducktape?
>you've financed a used car
If you can afford the payments and aren't autistic enough to buy a lemon, it's smarter than leasing and/or buying new.
>"not exactly street legal"
My test pipe technically makes my car not street legal. It's not hard to have a "not street legal" car.
that image is almost as retarded as I am.
Removed the focus badge on my ST. not a fan of the italicized way they did it.
Most of the time I don't care though. Only shit that legit makes me mad is when dealers put badges on.
>>14777762
Literally the only people who debadge cars are poorfags who couldn't afford the good trim levels or a good brand so they want to hide the fact that they are driving around the shitty poorfat model/trim/brand.
>>14778704

I took the Nissan emblem off the front grille of my D21, but only because it was like one screw and the plain original style grille (horizontal bars, not vertical) looks so good without a big circle style logo in the middle

Damn nice. What wheels are those?

>not putting a Ford badge on your Datsun.
>>14777762
No... why?
I mean, if I drove a GT-S, then yeah.
If I drove a Lamborghini, then yeah.
If I drove ANYTHING that doesn't really need a badge to prove that it is what it is... then yeah.
Also, manufacturers offer this option to debadge your car, except the main badge if you feel like it (only applies to 100grand+)
Close.
>>14777762
I might debadge my silvia and sell them to some fag american to put on his 240. he'll have to give me his first born to raise as a socialist tho
>>14777762
It depends on the situation. I wouldn't debadge my future sportbike. Because the graphics on a sportbike make it unique and are part of the aesthetic.
Most cars? Yeah. The badges usually interfere with the aesthetic, drawing attention away from the lines of the car. If the badge were something cool like the pillar decal of the z cars, I'd keep that.
But most decals are fucking garbage and shouldn't be on the car, post purchase. I didn't buy a car to advertise for the company.

>>14784607

so gr8, ppl think its actually a toyota
I've debadged 4 / 5 cars that I've owned (I might debadge the wrangler too soon). I even chopped them all into a pic for this post (dat nostalgia though, I sold the Eclipse in '06, and the RSX in '07).
>>14781218
kek. what a poser
>>14778048
One of my vehicles isnt exactly street legal because it's tires are about to blow on a highway.
And a front brake is onesideing pretty badly.

>>14785275
I've never tried super glue but I don't think its really designed to last against the weather. Especially not cheap dollars store stuff. I'd say if your badge is cheap to replace go ahead and try it out and see if it works. If its not cheap definitely spring for the proper stuff.
>>14782843
I removed the ST and Fiesta badge from my FiST. Dip-painted the red part of the ST badge on the front, left the silver border.
Did it just because I liked the look.
>>14785915
i have a Focus
keeping the ford emblem since it's shaped into the body work on the trunk, but i'm going to pull off the "Focus," "SE," and "Flex Fuel" badges

You're a classy guy, I can tell. Here, have a pic of some southern belles at a car show I went to at a formerly slave-owning plantation.
For clarification, I'm mostly asexual (because I don't like being around someone all the time or being dependent on someone for a physical need), but I only like women, and I absolutely fucking loved all four of those cars.
So, like, whatever man.
