Why Debadge the Civic Logo? Your thoughts here!

millerman · 05-11-2008, 12:37 AM

Hi all 8th gen peeps. Most of us have de-badged our babies -- i debadged her on the 2nd day after seeing so many of you here do it.

So why do YOU debadge?

For looks?

Does it mean something?

Just wanted to know your thoughts!

I debadge because I hate the letter C, and Civic has two of them. I threw up a little in my mouth while typing that.

I debadge the Civic emblem as soon as I parked it in the driveway, lol.

It was crooked and I dont like the looks of it.

***MFDOOM44*** · 05-11-2008, 12:45 AM

is it because youre a blood. btw *** thread

It's bloody hard to wax around. Or when you was over it, and you see these little spots of wax in between where your finger can't get. That shit is annoying.

it looks so much cleaner with out the badge...

boltuprite · 05-11-2008, 11:55 AM

I think debadging is stupid. I would only debadge if there was actually something wrong with the badge. (i.e. cracking or peeling like Chrysler one seem to all do)

Cr8tive_leo · 05-11-2008, 11:57 AM

Cause it looks too close to GMC

***homeboyv*** · 05-11-2008, 12:42 PM

^^^ haha thats awesome....cuz it looks better without it....i left the si on tho cuz i like the look of it especially with the jdm badge

VtecMinded · 05-11-2008, 01:23 PM

I'm one both sides of the fence on this one. Debadging makes the vehicle look cleaner, I agree with that. But I think it was orginally done on earlier model civics because it also came with the benefit of declassifing a lesser model such as DX or CX. I have also heard of people going the other way by saying it was for "tricking" would be car theivies into believing that their Si or EX is a lower trim level. I have one friend who even went as far as to switch out the tail lights on his Si to DX ones.
I debadged all my previous civics but I'm currently debating doing it to my 07 SI sedan. Once there off its hard to put them back were Honda stuck them. And plus I paided the extra money to have them there in the first place!

I took my civic badge off because it is a cleaner look. I am still thinking about taking off the SI badge.

stealth · 05-11-2008, 01:45 PM

Removed for looks only, but as people have said, it would be pretty annoying to wax around the badge... Looks a LOT cleaner IMO

***xheartcore_boyx*** · 05-11-2008, 01:45 PM

cleaner looks,easier to wax,"civic" looks cheap and to look different ..

anavrin351 · 05-11-2008, 01:49 PM

i also didnt like how it was chrome. I wanna paint the Hs because of the chrome.

***xheartcore_boyx*** · 05-11-2008, 02:12 PM

^
I ordered a red jdm rear emblem :) .. has chrome i think,but doesnt look cheap like the oem one .

VtecMinded · 05-11-2008, 02:14 PM

I don't like the chrome either. I think I will just take off the civic badge if any

efeliciano13 · 05-11-2008, 02:16 PM

looks cleaner and i dont really like advertising!

ViperGuy · 05-11-2008, 02:40 PM

I plan on doing this to mine. Are there any holes behind the badges, or are they just stickers?
