The only adverse effect is the SC guys that I see on occasion, dont believe that I am also SC.

Thats what I was going for though so...

yes its funny when other SC'ers have to do a long double take to figure out if its real

I love when other people check out the car, you can see them looking and trying to figure out

it is

I removed all my badges on the rear, but left the doors as they were. Another guy that lives by me removed only the bowtie. I think it looks good both ways.

"We don't need no stinking badges"

Now if only the Chevy rim centers can be removed it can look like any other Japanese import!

I took off the rear bowtie, cause the gold doesnt match the Victory Red. Took off the front one too, and painted it.

I now I shouldnt have said that, but goo gone has been mentioned countless times in debadging posts on here Im surprised it was missed. If someone actually did sandpaper their paint, they dont deserve to be owning, driving or being near a car....

I would have kept the bowtie on, but it looks nice with or without it. I just don't like the trunk lock being the only thing on the trunk.
