To badge or not to badge.. That is my question

[Huff]

So, I've been kicking around the idea of re-badging my car since I painted it. I've stared for hours, but really can't decide.. So, I thought I'd get the opinion of r3v.









Here's a few bad photo's without the poor mock up..

I pulled mine off and haven't looked back since. I love the look without the badge - it unclutters the rear end. That's my stance on it. :D

I love your beautiful paint. Makes me want to get my car repainted...:)

I had mine off for a long time but then realized that it was what everyone was doing. So I threw the badge back on and I really like it. The best part about what you're doing is that if in 6 months you're over it, you can take them off.

Well, one reason I've been wanting to put them one is just to show some "is" pride.. I know it sounds lame, but since all of our cars are starting to more rare, I think it's kinda cool to show that it is an "is" with all the options.

The other side of me thinks it looks nice and clean without them. I also lean towards "If you know what it is cool". You won't need a badge there to figure it out". I know that when I find that e30 M3, it will have no badges at all (except roundels).

See, that my work for you. But, my car has parts from etas, super etas and is's all over the place. So, it's a confused car...

[ACHTUNG]

Leave them off.

Thanks for the compliments on the paint.. She's come a long way. My bumpers where black like yours (at least the front when I first got it) and I thought of keeping that. It looks cool on your car, but I don't think I could pull it off.

These picks are a blast from the past.. When she was an automatic and still a wreck.






This pic alone kinda wants me to put them back on..

I think you should put them back on.

I took mine off. Got an old M3 grill badge. Removed the M3 and replaced it with the IS and put it back on the grill. I like the badgeless trunk lid.

This pic is bad but you get the idea.
