De-badging the Turbo?
Have any of you gents de-badged the rear deck lids "TURBO" script badge? I saw this pic in another thread and it has me thinking that it looks REAL clean. If you guys have any pics with this done please post em up.

Use waxed dental floss to remove badge, then 3m adhesive remover or similar.

I don't think he was asking how to do it more so than would it look good. I personally like the badge (just not in chrome). But def very stealthy. Even more so on a Sledgehammer.

I believe in everything being debadged but don't know if I can justify (if ever) removing the "turbo" script. Still debating..... but will probably end up leaving it.

I got a GT3RS rear decklid so as not to confuse people I put on a black turbo badge.

I honestly think it looks good either way.

What you can do is take a picture of your car and post it here, Im sure anyone with even a little photoshop skills can PS a picture for you with the badge removed. Then you can decide if you like the look of it for your car.

I actually just installed a satin black "turbo" badge on my basalt black, but came across that pic of the GT2 with out the badge and liked the way it looked so I just wanted to get some opinions, thats all. With the black badge its subtle. Its clear, I am going to leave it. Thanks for posting.

I do like the clean look....But I too would leave it. I do however like the 'wolf in sheeps clothing' idea without the badge....for folks that don't know the turbo body.

I'm going to switch out my current 4S badge for a flat black.
