    I couldn't remove my GTP badges its what makes the car! I mean I have had guys pull up next to me in obviously stock GT GP give me the wanna race look look down at my door and look back at the road. Its that look i love! Its the instant someone who knows cars looks at it and the first glance is the door LOVE IT! I mean don't get me wrong I love the look of a debadged car the whole sleeper effect same reason I welded the stock muffler tips back on my trans am. But that is a trans am people already know its gonna be fast I like people knowing what my car is its a whole intimidation factor, but I like to give them that feeling of hope "Maybe its stock..."

    I remove any dealer badges and cheap vinyl stickers, the other badges it just depends. Of course the arrowhead stays, and I like the 'Grand Prix' on the trunk as long as it's centered. I tend to keep to the basics though, '3800' and 'supercharged' and the like tend to just look cluttered.
    I left my badges on the doors because I think it just looks too plain without, if I had a side skirt or concept fenders I might think otherwise.
    I actually don't care for the GTP badges; just too flat and square in my opinion, though not as bad as the GM squares on the newer cars. It's just a per case scenario with me, I'd probably remove most of the badges from an 04+, but I like some of the badges on my 03.

    Debadging is for kool kids.

    On a more serious note. I've contemplated getting black, reflective stickers, just the stickers, to go where I used to have my GTP badges. It'd be a sticker, so less issues with waxing/buffing/washing, also, it'd still be pretty sleeper, except when the light hits it. Now that's sexy.

    Personally as a former detailer i like it when some one takes off bages its so much easier to buff and or polish, but ive taken all my bages off all my cars exept my iroc. My Grand prix has everything off and im even contimplating on the arrow head on the bumper too.

    Doesn't sound so cool now, does it?

    I think it's a stretch calling emblems, badges.

    How the heck does removing your emblems suddenly make your car a sleeper? Someone please explain this to me.
    "Debadged" = Sleeper, Really?

    I'm not a hater...just trying to understand the psychology.
