Just wondering what everyone thinks on the whole debadging thing...
Everything off, Subaru off, Just WRX, Just Impreza, leave stock...
Here is the front:

everything?
oh yeah, and I saw on another forum someone used USA from Subaru and left just that on the trunk. Pretty interesting I thought.

I like the WRX only badge. Keep it simple.
The USA idea seems pretty cool.

i would get rid of them all. a lot of punks like taking a screwdriver to them and pull them off scratching the car. it's also easier to wash/wax
| CPTsWRX | 08-30-2005 01:47 PM |
try putting USA above the WRX and see how that looks. or in the same place as the WRX but on the other side. Otherwise I'd say leave just the WRX.
| CPTsWRX | 08-30-2005 01:48 PM |
looking at the pictures the key hole is on the other side. USA WRX may be cool though
| Protege Menace | 08-30-2005 02:10 PM |
no, it will look like a kia.
check the other thread in member gallery for how it looks.

Last week I'd have voted to leave it all on but after having my STi badge stolen, in addition to a small amount of paint, I voted for a complete debadging.
| jacobsen1_ | 08-30-2005 02:58 PM |
still on the fence and I need more answers people....
but I guess it's 12-4 for removing SUBARU if you add all the bottom options

leave it stock...it looks el cheapo without badging
| kujo79 | 08-30-2005 03:15 PM |
I would remove everything and stick a "prodrive" sticker..
well actually i just took "subaru" off mine. and left "impreza", "wrx" and "sti".
im adding that prodrive sticker to the back of my rear window.

I just left the SUBARU and took off Impreza WRX
| CapeRex | 08-30-2005 04:15 PM |
Remove SUBARU,leave everything else.Looks the cleanest.Totally debadged is too close to tuner show-car territory (I like factory stock clean).
| blkwrx02 | 08-30-2005 06:37 PM |
My car is 4 years old. Thats 4 years of sun and dirt. I have been thinking about removing the SUBARU for 2 years but was afraid the paint had faded. Any opinions?
| stokdd | 08-30-2005 08:35 PM |
My father's WRX and my STi are both naked ;)
| fireball_jones | 08-30-2005 08:40 PM |
Drop the Subaru, it's the JDM way!
Plus it's a lot, lot easier to wax the trunk afterwards. And I would personally rather look at paint than emblems.

it will look alot cleaner if you debadge it.
| kero | 08-30-2005 08:43 PM |
How in the world do you guys get these off without harming the paint??
| R_W | 08-30-2005 09:08 PM |
Leave only WRX. I live out in the sticks, and every day I get, "what kind of car is that?"
Nice wheels.

| TacticalNuke | 08-30-2005 09:09 PM |
My trunk is naked, I love the look. I need to get the keyhole removed and filled, though, for the ultimate smooth look.
| flabele | 08-30-2005 09:14 PM |
Debadge everything. Your car is very clean already. Doing this would really compliment it. Nice car btw..

Thanks,
Man, this decision is harder than I thought. So far all the comments are helping, but they go back and forth and I agree with all of them...
By this weekend I will decide.

BEN!
It is SOOOO easy, just get:
Fishing line
Hair dryer
Goo-Gone Citrus Solvent
Old towels
Bit of water
Heat them emblems up one at a time, the S, the U, etc, then get the fishing line and gently slide back and forth until you are "cleanly" behind the badge, then a bit of goo-gone, do not be scared to be liberal with it, then wipe with dry towel, then scrub a bit with the damp towel, then the dry again.
It should not take you too long, remove the Subby, then see what you think...
Personally, naked is the best, it looks SOOOO smooth and classy! Those badges, are nothing but shiny plastic anyways!!!
Good luck!

Superu WRX,
I know how to take it off... I just can't decide.....
I love when people ask me what kind of car it is though because of the I badge in the front, so this would just help I guess.... I just don't know .... Sometime I like with everything.... sometime I'm thinking take it all off....
but looking at the poll results, I should at least take off Subaru, and then maybe go another week and see how I like that.

Leave the badges on. The rear bumper just looks empty without them. Debadging the rear looks pretty good on wagons but for some reason to my eye at least the big flat empty look on sedan trunks just doesn't look good at all. Each to their own though.
| Airborne_J | 08-31-2005 01:45 PM |
I took mine off within two weeks of owning the car. Mine was silver as well. There were two horizontal 1/4" blemishes in the paint under the "subaru" I'm still happy with the results. The front grill emblem came off just one week after the others

OK, so I took off S U B A R U last night. I once I got started I was going to do the whole thing, but then the wife's girlfriend invited us out so I had to stop washing the car altogether... I will see how I like the
WRX (o)
impreza
look and next week when I wash the car again I will decide if that goes or not. I'm going to wax dat ting tonight, and then hopefully take some pictures.
