Default De-badged pics?

I usually remove emblems from our cars looking for a “cleaner” appearance. Does anyone here have pics of the rear of their C8 with “CORVETTE” removed? ( I don’t remove all emblems, for instance, I would leave “Z06” on the sides)

Interesting that some manufacturers, like MBZ, offer a badge-delete ($200) option. Our AMG GTS has no rear badges.

I ordered the white letter option (RIN) for my Body Color Accent build. The RIN option is put on at the dealer, not BG. I opted to NOT have the letters installed, and I think I like not having that 18" long lettering across the tail. At least for now.

Car was at dealer for warranty paint work to fix the chipping around the headlights, and also to repair some damage on the rear fascia. Here are pics without the badging. I did put the front back on, but leaving the rear off.

How do you guys even find 3-1/2 year old threads to resurrect (and why)?

I never thought of that. It actually looks pretty clean.
How do you remove them. Heat gun and twine?

Fishing line, OK thanks.
I need to think about this one. That is a big commitment. I guess you could always put them back on if you did not like the look.
I like what I am seeing but every car is different depending on the color and wheels.

I had a C5 racecar that I took off the front badge when I painted it. I ended up putting it back on because it just looked too bare without it.

Back in the '50's we called this "nosed and decked". Made the Bel Air coupes look totally bad***. We don't need no stinkin' badges. Still don't.
Now if I can just remember where I put my chisel....
