Badge or De-Badge, that is the question?

I like it so far.
1995 Civic (peeled off the EX sticker)
1997 Accord (removed emblems)
2000 Accord (changed to the "Dark Chrome" emblem option)
2004 TSX (removed emblems)

No paint fade whatsoever where the emblems were removed. My car is garaged at work and at home though. That might have helped.
I will try and snap a picture this weekend.

Yes I agree with you on a wife being in the labour room delivering your off-spring, and trust me the respect is there. But it should never come down to where it interferes with "BOYS and THEIR TOYS"

thx for all the compliments. Actually, I posted this pic a while ago. I posted it again just want to let TSX6one9 know that I respect how my wife work on her car doesn't mean I dun have say on my car. And those are real BBS and real Volk but I the white Volk does not matching with the cap so I think it looks better w/o it.

I debadged my other vehicle using a heat gun and the floss. I used a cloth dampen with acetone to remove the glue. The funny thing was for a few weeks afterwards the dust would form around where the letters used to be and you could see the name highlighted in dust.
I will leave my TSX badged though. I really like the look of the chrome TSX and Acura on the back of the TSX, especially on the darker coloured TSX's. Just a personal choice.
