Debadging (part 8) ... lol
i know this topic has been discussed thoroughly, but i just debadged my c300 4matic and i love how clean it looks. My dad on the other hand owns a 07' E350 and he is entirely against it saying that it takes away from the car commenting "why didn't you just buy a hyundai and debadge that". 
I gave him a pass on that because he doesn't know all that much about cars. I think that everyone is entitled to their own opinion and i don't really care about the fact that i have to show that its a mercedes with some numbers and letters (4matic). I'm just wondering what everyone's take on debadging is and if it takes away from the value of the car in your opinion.

I personally think it is a much cleaner and sleeker look. Who needs all these badges and labels? I think it is needless advertising. I haven't taken off my C300 4matic badges yet as it is still a rarity in the city where I live (but I will remove it eventually), but as soon as I took delivery I took off the tacky dealer badge.
Also it is much easier to clean and wax if the badges were off.
I am a total believer in less is more, and I am horrified by cars with too much or aftermarket poser badging. Why do you need to let people know what you have or don't have?

dealer badges are a terrible thing but i like the regular badges. if i had a w203 amg i would debadge it though, confuse people when they think its just a regular c. cant do that with the w204, too many bumps and fins give it away, not a bad thing though.

how easy is it to debadge? when i debadged my integra, there were holes where the badges were, so i had to cover them. are there any holes behind the "C3x0" badge? does it come off cleanly or are there going to be some scratch marks or anything left behind?
