Default Side badge removal - do I or don't I?!

Ok - I've just bought and fitted clear side repeaters.

Now do I remove the 'HONDA' badge from the side to leave just the indicator and S2000 logo, or is it more hassle than it's worth?

Decisions decisions...

piece of cake..... went the whole hog and removed all the badges.......to me it improves the look of the front end considerably

I feel the lack of badges helps blend the wing to bonnet....almost making it look like a 'clam shell'

Personally, I'm not removing my badges. I'm proud it's a Honda and it keeps people from assuming it's anything else.

Yep I can understand what you mean - I'd rather have the faster car with a Honda badge, than a slower car with a Porsche badge.
But on an aesthetic basis I think it would look better without, plus I like to keep non-car enthuiast people guessing!

Still not sure whether I can be bothered to start messing about with hairdryers and WD40 though!

I removed mine simpy because I don't think they look very elegant and spoil the lines in my opinion

They are easy enough to get off........budget 30 mins a side for all the badges

No issues.

I peeled 'em off with a strip of packing tape!

Washed the glue off with cellulose thinners, I think.
