I definitely remove dealer badges, and I can't stand it when the dealer drills holes to mount their badge. I've found some that do! the vinyl ones aren't too bad, a little heat and its gone. the first thing I did to my SHO when I bought it, even before I put the first tank of gas in it. Fortunately the Vette came with no badging! even though the dealer I got it from typically does badge their cars.

These are the ones i have on my Vette. Not that crazy anymore about the looks of them. Mainly because they look to much like the Z06 badges and you can see the LS1 but the turbocharged lettering is so small you have to be right up on it to read it.
I guess i could paint the turbocharged lettering red and that would help somewhat. Probably just have Austin someday design a set that just say twin turbocharged.

I've suggested this before and got flamed...it's your car to do with what you please (don't even ask for others opinions)...but, you gotta live with it and the snide comments!
I think it's everyones right to make their car look as silly as they want...wings and fart can exhaust, 30" wheels and O-ring tires.
I do like those specialty "badges" showing the uniqueness of specific cars.

My trunk badge came off within a few months of owning the car. Of course now, I have to close the trunk by the edge with care of getting a fingerprint on there(the emblem was great for that!). If I could get rid of the front emblem without seeing the holes, it'd be gone. Looks better w/o them. Just my .02
