Hey everyone, my name's John and I just joined the forum. I gave up my '03 CLK55 AMG for a roomier '05 545i sport 6-speed. Drove the BMW and it felt like a BMW. Loved it and traded it immediately. I painted the front kidney grills black, tinted the windows 35% all around expect for rear window which was 20%. I have a fullt set of ACS front spoiler, side skirts, rear spoiler, roof spoiler, and trunk spoiler on its way. Tires are brand new so I am using it up until
Now back to topic
How many people debadged their cars? I used to have an Evolution VIII and I debadged the whole thing since I really did not like Mitsubishi but loved the evo. Now my BMW is used so I am afraid it will leave a slight 545i on the trunk. What do you guys think? And I am not sure if I really should debadge it. Give me some feedback. Thanks.

It's a personal thing. I personally prefer the clean look without my numbers and don't care whether someone knows what I'm driving or not. I KNOW and that's all that matters to me.
Try debadging..........If you don't like the look, stick the little numbers back on

That's the trouble with asking this question really. Unfortunately, this debate will never reach a conclusion.

I was thinking the same thing...I don't want to race at every light so I think I'll leave it on as a warning

personally i love the clean look of debadged bimmer, its so clean, and as long as you dont do poser mods its all good, hell even my friend debadged his 335 and he smokes all the cars that try to best him thinking that he drives around a 328
