Default Take off the GM emblems?

Hi,

I'm just curious, how many people have taken off the GM emblems?

No.On silver they don't stand out.I would still leave them on with other colors.Honestly they don't bother me.If they fall off they will stay off.I think there was a thread on this before.

Mine were gone as soon as I had the time to remove them.
For something so small, I think they look hideous and are completely unecessary.
They were easy enough to remove though.

I'm giving GM the benefit of the doubt for designing and bringing the Z06 to market. They are staying on.

I like them. I thought they were a nice touch and I have had multiple people comment positively about them. Mine are staying on.

Took mine off, and glad I did. I think it looks better and I don't have the same emblems as a Cobalt. Additionally, so much for the mark of "GM" quality with our roofs flying off...

Leaving them on. Could add value down the road.

Anyone dyno their car before and after removal? Wondering what hp gain was achieved by weight reduction.

Sorry, couldn't help myself.

The first thing my GM Master Mechanic did was remove the damn things. I didn't ask, he just did it and I agree. If it adds value, I don't want it. It did reduce wind resistance by 0.00000000001!

I should have saved mine for rings. I was not thinking! You learn so much on this Forum.
