The front left one is a replacement... it doesn't quite match the others. =(

Hardly noticeable, though. That front left one is also cleaned, the rear was still dirty in that photo.

Aww you debaged all wrong IMO. You should have left the emblems on the doors. I think any car with emblems on the side deserve them.

You also left the huge Bowtie in the rear which in most cases is the only thing people debage!

In most cases, people are stupid IMO.

The original badges are poorly arranged. It's so asymetrical. The SS on the back hangs out so awkwardly. The emblems on the doors are randomly floating half-way up the side, and are level with the ground, not the bottom of the car, so everyone would ask, "Are those lopsided?".

The big Chevy bowtie is the only badge on this car that wasn't thoughtlessly slapped on. I think leaving just that looks damned cleaner than taking it off and leaving all the awkward lettering.

too each his own, with leaving the trunk like it is and taking just the bowtie off kinda reminds me of the WRX, because thats how they do it, and the "WRX" and "STi" are on the bottom sides, just like our Cobalt SS, and Supercharged is..

Looks awesome. I also debadged my 06 the same way you did.. The door badges on the 05's are absolutely stupid. I mean come on, the middle of the door. Atleast in 06 they moved them. But I still got rid of them and dont regret it at all. Looks 100x better.

Im still up in the air about the bowtie though. If the trunk lock wasnt there then it would be gone.

Looks clean, that's for sure... but I wouldn't even think of taking SS badges off of the car...

I pulled the GM badges off of mine the other day... it's really easy, and looks much better.

I really like the front emblem idea if it were trimmed. Just looks out of place having the places for the bowtie there.

Damnit! Everytime I see a beautiful blue SS, it makes me wish I got something other than silver!!!

Your car is beautiful. I love the way the blue POPS out and grabs your attention!

These pictures are okay, but check out the topic I posted earlier this week, it has much better photos.

Take the SS of the front however you can see the holes behind the lettering looks kinda tacky in my opinion. Shaved emblems look smooth however, I've shaved alot but can't seem to lose the side emblems yet, maybe one day!
