Question To Debadge or not Debadge .. That is the question..

Hi,
Having gone "stealthy-silent" in the exhaust dept I'm wondering if I should go stealth looking and debadge my car, keeps anyone guessing what type,power etc.
What's anyone's opinion?
Unfortunately I cant put any pictures up justnow cos I'm on my mobile..if anyone wants to copy and paste a pic from my garage or a post in "show ur wagons "thread its fine by me.
My car is a WR Blue Wagon with the Subaru writing on the back , a WRX badge bottom lh corner with a Black Prodrive bage underneath that.. Also 1 small Prodrive badge on each wing underneath the side repeater
Cheers,
Steve

have been having the same thoughts about mine recently and mines the same as yours from the back with differant lights

I ditched some dodgy aftermarket subaru badge someone had put after the letters and the prodrive decal, came close to taking ooff the "subaru" letters but bottled it, was just going to leave the WRX badge

seeing yours, may have pushed me over the edge

Thanks guys

Urban ..The individuality .. the choice in doing your own thing , thats what I've always liked about Subarus ..everyone has there own ideas and opinions and I respect that.. I think the Subaru letters across the back look quite dated and untidy.. Think debadged it looks quite clean.. and only you know what's under the bonnet

Go for it Mogsmex , I think it does the wagon justice .. you kno u want to

Lol.. No Lisa no it wont .. It's p***-easy to do .. I used Dental floss, see-saw motion for about 10 seconds per letter and its off.. Now use Autoglym Tar and Glue Remover to remove the glue left behind along with something with a blunt plastic edge.. I used an old Costa card to scrape it off as I dont have any nails!
Took about 20mins all together to do .
