Too Badge or Not to Badge

GoFastGoFish · 06-21-2021, 09:21 AM

So I have always removed badges or modified badging on every vehicle.. I was going to just remove everything on the X3MC .. but the wife said to try something using the left over "competition" badge I had .. what are some thoughts.

I mean....why? It doesn't look like it belongs. In my younger days I would debadge, but now I just leave well enough alone.

Of course this is all personal preference.

Yeah.. I have been thinking of just ditching it with since the sizing being bit off.. I mean from back about 5 feet.. it doesn't look too out of place..

The factory badges just seem huge to me.. and I am Ram owner

I would personally de-badge the whole thing as I like the sleeper/clean look. The M badge could stay and look nice, but the comp badge should go, I always thought it looks weird on all M cars.

Leave everything - on the black you hardly see it anyway

de-badge

GoFastGoFish Interesting. Do you have a pic of the badge from the left hand angle?

TTR · 06-21-2021, 06:19 PM

Sticker is no "m" sticker, this is place Mottolino Fun Mountain (in Italian Alps), so it's looks funny for me.

I like to degabe only sleeper cars, like this, m3 i would not

Looks like it was already de-badged and then re-badged. You buy it new?

Yes, bought it new.. removed the X3 and the Comp badge.. then used the leftover Comp badge from the G82 M4 I had swapped ( then traded away lol) Keeping just the original M.

This one also has the MSport exhaust tips package. A thing of beauty.

Personally I prefer OEM but to each their own.
Those that know, know. Those that don't know, don't care.
