Opinions?
I have an 85 coupe and am thinking of leaving it unbadged
the old badges were nasty faded and whatnot so was thinking screw it.
as well as taking off the rear bumber 'corvette'. onlth thing that would tell the not knowing its a corvette will be my rims(til the TTM come), front license plate cover, and some interior cues
so is it taboo?

Do whatever trips your trigger.
It's not like we're talking about a '67 BB coupe or something.

holes?
And what are you going to do about the holes? I'm told that that is a real problem. Filler will shrink over time, and not look good.
I really like the looks of the Callaway tear drops that they put in the hood after they remove the emblem, but they wont sell you just the tear drops.
I really do like the looks of the hood without the emblem. It makes the hood look a lot wider, in my opinion.
So what are your plans for the holes?

If I see a car, truck, whatever without badging, I think that the vehicle was wrecked, and the owner thought it would look better (and save money) when repairing it, and it is usually the case.

Did the same with a 800 dollar Dodge - I liked it alot.
A corvette is obviously more spooky for this trial.
I read the C5 guys are 50/50 about the factory side moulding removal for looks.
I would try a front or rear "trial" - assess the looks and go with it on both if appealing.

I don't think so junior. Most trucks, cars or rods that you see without badges are that way because THEIR OWNERS LIKE HOW IT LOOKS, not because they were wrecked. Were you born yesterday?
I think It'll look cool without badges. Corvette people will notice what you've done and think its and those who dont know Corvettes wont know the difference anyway...so do what you want!
