      Has Ford owner I can tell you debadging a Ford won’t stop anyone knowing its a Ford. They design it specifically so you don’t need the emblem. Hell it fades off on most trucks and cars in a few months.

      What I remove is any mention of the dealership. That I will advertise for.

      99% of the time I HATE advertising, however in this circumstance I can’t relate, I love my Kia Soul and I really like how down to earth the old Kia logo was. More importantly it feels like a part of Sir-hops-a-lot’s personality that id be removing and I don’t want that.
      (yes, I have named and personified it a bit so I’m not really the average customer lol)

      beep beep frog car incoming!

      nyooom! 🐸


      I do agree on clothing, if it’s not funny (apparently there’s a brand named ‘lorem ipsum’ that makes shirts) or like a YouTubers merch or experience (ex. a museum tshirt I have), I don’t understand why you would pay extra.

      Yeah, usually the debadged cars I see around me are 3-series and other entry-level luxury sedans. I think the owners want to try and trick people into thinking they’re actually driving an M3, etc.

      If you debadge an M3, RS3, etc then I think that’s actually a pretty cool flex

    The top reason: the badge fell off for some reason, and I do not care enough to replace it.

    it comes and goes but some years school age kids will gain a car emblem theft fixation. I lived on the same street as a high school and every second year or so any remaining emblems on cars parked outside would be stripped off
