no one said reflective concepts couldnt make you some. ;)
Strip the GTP badge, get a GTP overlay, put it on empty spot, win?
I was contemplating whether to debadge or not. Ive got a 2000 daytona and while i like that it is more rare. I bought it with 18" crome wheels that have brand new tires soo im not gonna change them for a while and with the blue/red/purple daytona badge it in my opinion looks a little too flashy. The grand prix and daytona 500 badging on the rear was already removed soo....With my last GTP i took both door badges off and put one in the grill. It actually looked really good...subtle but still there.
Judging by your sig picture, I'm not surprised.Quote:

Special editions actually do have badges on the doors next to the gtp badges.Quote:

One jackstand under the center of the car? Looks safe bro
On a slightly sloped driveway with the car pointed downhill even.. I wasn't at home so I made due with what was available.. Car didn't fall on me so it worked well enough for me.Quote:

There is a picture of said badge. 2002 was the GP 40th anniversary, that badge says Pontiac 75th, your car is a 2001.
Also, this badge is on a Grand Am: http://www.carpictures.com/photo/viewer/01JP9293524492H
Pretty sure I've debadged every car I've owned except 2. My Formula because it looked too plain without anything on it, and my old 03 sonoma cause it was just a DD
So I want to see how my car will look debadged but if I don't like it can I put them back on?
ya, just use some double sided tape, that's pretty much how they're held on from the factory.Quote:

Definetly love the look of being debugged. Even if I had a special edition, Daytona, limited edition I would still take em' off. 99% of the drivers out there don't know the difference. And even if they did, its still just a Grand Prix.
i removed everything from my doors, trunk the day i drove it home. I much prefer the cleaner look it has, but hey im not 1 for all that stick on your car s***. I totally agree with the decal badge idea though, i may look into that
So like 3M tape?
yup any double sided tape, just make sure u clean the old tape off the back of the badges first.
Chances are it'll leave an "outline" so it really won't be that hard to line up again if you choose you want the badges back.
But you can always look at other debadged cars first to decide if you want to or not.
I don't really care either way, I just debadged the trunk cuz I got I little crazy with the heat gun on the prix during the repaint. :th_biggrin2:
