Default Anyone debadged boot but left 'Impreza' badge?

On the newer models if possible, wondering what it'd look like on my Blob with just the Impreza badge and boot lock.

Did you realign the Impreza badge? Mine seems to be a bit lower than yours making it look a bit odd.

How much effort was there in getting each letter off? I really like the de-badged look.

But why would you want to remove the badges?
Explain, and don't say it looks tidier because that's what my missus says when she decides to have a change and move the furniture around.

"But why would you want to remove the badges?

My 02 wagon has 3 badges, the Impreza badge, the WRX badge and the "S U B A R U" badge across the boot.
Personally, I think removing the "S U B A R U" would just give it a cleaner look. WRX may go too having seen other people's cars.
It's not about moving the furniture around, but getting rid of some of it!

I've never liked lots of stickers, even the dealer sticker has been removed from the rear window. Oddly I like the sponsor decal look though.

if someone following you or looking at your car doesnt know what it is,then its their loss lol. you shouldnt have to have subaru etc emblazened across the boot. and yes i think it looks tidier too. gives smoother panels too,i left the impreza badge because i dont think it looks as tacky as the others. if you look closely it looks a good quality badge rather than just some letters stuck on.

Personal choice. What do you have against it? It's my car, I'll do what I like to it.

that is the easiest way to remove the letters. easiest way to remove the glue left by badge is use a degreaser

Don't get stressed, it's only a badge that was put there by Subaru at the factory, not by a chav in the dead of night
