Default Has anyone completely debadged their c8 yet?

I am 99% sure everything is flush under the badges but wanted to confirm from someone who has done this.

There are some debading polls on the forum, if you search. I'd want to at least remove the dead fish on the rear, but other's like it.

During first wash one wing of the fish broke off so removed it. Replacement fish came but will not install but save for when C8 is sold.

I de-badge nearly everything and when I get one... guess what... And, I don't give a flyin' flip what anyone else thinks about it, here or otherwise. Do whatever YOU wish and never look back!!!

Looks like a kit car without any badges on it- best look IMO is to remove all the badges except for the front flags emblem.

I've grown to hate the rear 'CORVETTE' lettering due to cleaning pains.

Had to read the title twice. Really glad you weren't asking if anyone had “teabagged” their C8.

I personally don’t care for the nude look, but your wheels, your choice.

So, I guess very few people here "split the baby" and get the "CORVETTE" emblem/badge on the rear in body color? Thats what my plan is with torch red.

Anyone have photos of the body color lettering option?

Debadging is a really stupid fad! it makes the car look weird and "generic" and unfinished. I am proud of my StingrayCorvette. I guess these people are embarrassed it is not European. Goofy idea!!!!!

Debadging has nothing to do with being embarrassed.

It has to do with removing cheap plastic badges that take away from the design/lines of the car. A designer's work can be ruined by a couple of two dollar advertisements.
