Default De-branding - opinions wanted

going to get boot lid resprayed tomorrow as there's rust on the lip (and bumper cos I reversed into a brick wall and just scuffed it ) However I am thinking of getting the 'subaru' letters removed (while it is being done) and have a completely smooth back end

Personally I think it will look great as car's lowered and small spoiler anyway. Plus it's not like people don't know it's a Scoob

Looks weird without the SUBARU letters, IMHO. Like it has a huge ***, you know?

I had my boot lid resprayed, the sprayers tried to put the letters back with the original stuff, but they fell off. Luckily, wife had collected three before I noticed, so when I said, "Oh ****, the SUBARU letters have fallen off", she produced them out of her handbag. Who says women are useless? Not me.

Anyway, mime are now back with proper double sided tape. My preference anyway.

I actually don't use anything special, just some zipwax shampoo and a cheapo Halfords wax I think that Black is the best reflective color though. But as stated by j4mou alot of elbow grease is the key
