    I dont understand why you would want to do that? Wouldn't you want those lil meat cars out there to know you got a boss whip? I bet that those GT owners want that badge

    ....for serious?

    notice how all debadged cars look 'cleaner'? its not about saying 'LOOK I GOT A GTP, YO!', its about cleaning up the lines ont he car and making it look nicer.

    Hell no one sees it coming. Debadged cars are the cleanest ones out there...badges and window banners and decals are for imports.

    yes Bio for real. But in my case when I get my car painted buy my cuz I wanted to have him put the daytona decals on it. So therefore I cant hide that I am supercharged. I wanted a different color but I cant think of a color that i REALLy want and I dont know what looks great on this car :/ BTW are there really just 2000 daytonas? i find that hard to believe

    I hate the "Grand Prix" emblem on the trunk, so I removed it and had my buddy vinyl on "Supercharged" in place... That way when im out running you, you know why

    The silver GTP badges mesh in with the silver paint so they can stay on the doors but debadged on most GPs is amazing

    well if you have something rare like a special edition, limited edition, or a daytona then dont. but if its a ordinary grand prix, then be unique.

    I didn't feel like reading the other posts. But isn't it obvious debadging makes the car lighter and in turn makes it FASTER? LAWL just joking

    Oh BTW its about personal preference like with my car I love my Limited Edition badges cause I like to let people know my car is "limited" haha

    Yeah, I know you said you didn't read the other posts, but we agreed that special variants, it's wise to keep the badges.

    Special Edition didn't have unique outside badging, so the spoiler rails and hood can speak for those cars, debadge them.

    Though in honesty I think ANY special variant of a car (Limited, Anniversary, Daytona, etc) should be kept totally clean and stock, just for the sake of preserving it...

    Again as they all mention its personal preference... Ive been playing with the idea in my head since I got the car. I do like people knowing that its a GTP its kinda nice for people to know its not the run of the mill grand prix. However, the concept of no one knowing is awesome too

    I agree. Part of the 40th's, Daytona's, and Limited's uniqueness are the badging!

    its still a grand prix. people that pay more for a 'special' grand prix are not the smartest. sorry for those of you that own them, but its true.
