i love the debadged look. especially since i had the low spoiler, and winter steelies right now, so it's fun to see the look on people's faces when they hear the super.

So true

I mainly did it for cleaning/detailing purposes. Wax kept getting caught inside the badges; it dove me nuts.

i didn't use a screwdriver on the paint, i used an army knife to pry off the ss badges. the tape on there is very thick, but i knicked it a tiny bit. wasn't really a big deal.

Thanks guys!

I'll have the car up again for Feb. or March car of the month. I'm waiting on my import trenz heat extractor hood to come in. Gonna get that all painted; gonna buff out the entire car so its fresh and detailed for a shoot.

Just taking a long long time...
