I was contemplating to debadge it a long time ago too. But when I got my quads, I decided to debadge it. I wanted people to know I had a V8 but since my exhaust was so loud, it became obvious.

Well, after reading all the other posts about debadging, I finally did it. My GF thought I was a plum fool for removing my 550 emblem. She is more concerned about what people think. I even offered to do her C300, but she declined. I have to admit I look at the model #'s of every E60 I see, but I've also learned all the ways to tell what people have. Man, the car looks real clean now and I'm very happy I did it. I guess now I'll have more kids pulling up next to me. Bring it on!!! My RPI is very quiet at the lights. Don't wake the sleeping Giant.

I wouldn't put anything on there but 550 again. But you can tell by the exhaust note on WOT that I have more than a I6 under the hood. I was in the car today. Actually snuck out the house now that I'm sick. Was looking at the car from the Starbucks I stopped at and she really does look clean now. Getting the itch for a kit next

I noticed today in the sunlight that I have a very faint image of mine too. It's not really that bad, but as soon as I get well I'm going to go buff it out with wax.
