Anyone Out There De-badged Yet?
I know there are no longer holes underneath the IS350 badges on the truck so a clean look is an easy job. Has any done this yet? I'd love to see pics if so, as I've thought about doing it. Also, are there still holes under the F-Sport badges?? Not that I'm as interested in removing them...just curious.

I debadged my S4 and people thought it was an A4 until they got inside. At the time, I preferred the sleeper look. I like the look of no badges but for the IS I think I will keep them on.

F Sport Badges have 1 or 2 pins I forgot... So there will be holes on the fenders...
If you are that good with photoshop, color match that rear black bumper valence ..
You'll be surprised on how much better it looks

Really pissed with the dealer from which I’m purchasing. Not sure why they’re being so difficult!
They haven’t received my car yet, but I’ve asked them to debadge the rear when prepping it for delivery.
I get an e-mail back from the salesperson stating that their service department doesn’t do same and that I’d have to do it myself!
WTF; every other car I’ve had, I’ve had the dealer debadge, and they’ve done so without problem or question.
They also denied my request to remove the rear bumper applique (even though other dealers said "no problem" when I was shopping), but I had corporate take care of same for me at the port.
What gives!?

So what people think about your car is more important than acutally enjoying it? Who cares what someone thinks your driving...debadge the car if you want to and if not then don't. It looks a lot better debadged hands down. It's not like we are driving ferraris or lambos like it really matters. Days end these are 40k cars its not that serious......
you shouldn't drive around caring if people care about what model car your driving....it just sound rediculous lol

Eh, the badges don't bother me. Plus I agree with the poster earlier saying people will think my 350 is a 250. Are people also removing the F sport badges?
Only issue I have with the badges is when you are cleaning / waxing the car. Just takes a little extra time to clean around those.
