I see all these teslas on the street no badges looking so sleek and makes me want to debadge mine. Should I go for it?

 

If you like it do it. Like color, it's subjective so everyone will have differing opinions.

 

I would choose not to debadge.

 

I’m sorry, I’ll never understand why people ask strangers what they should do with their cars. This is strictly cosmetic. Do what you want.

 

Sometimes people hesitate in making a decision. I see no harm asking others about their opinion.

 

I see what you are saying. This is not “should I get a tune?” This is cosmetic. Only OP’s opinion matters.

 

Fair enough but people sometimes dont know if they should do something or not like in this case debadging. So they seek some help even if its cosmetics. So they ask around, I guess its helps them make up their mind. Like I saw the OP's car, for me, I wouldn't debadged it. But, at the end of the day, as you correctly mentioned, he should do what he likes.

 

I de-badged, looks much cleaner without the badging. Plus when you clean it you havn't got to fiddle round the badging with a tooth brush or whatever you use

 

Obviously I am going to do what I want. I was purely getting opinions and pictures if anyone had them of their cars debadged. If you don't understand that, try a coloring book or an elvis track maybe you'll understand that.

 

I read a lot of people in the uk do this. Is that true?

 

if you debagde do it as fast as possible or you will have a good chance you'll end up with a color difference

fair enough.

 

You forgot to remove a badge

 

Haha, I did didn't I.

 

I have always debagded all my cars, just has a great smooth look! Recommend! Then slap the badges on the lawnmower

 

The star is not glued on like the others Has 3 rivets holding it on.

 

I've always liked the de-badged look. Definitely a cleaner style. The Tesla was a good example. Haven't done it yet but I am definitely considering it.
BTW I thought forums were exactly for questions like this...or anything else we want to talk about.

 

On that note, should I diy it or have the shop do it

 

You are correct, but it’s personal preference. It’s like me going online and asking strangers “should I wear red or blue?” There is no right or wrong answer. You are going to see just as many debadge or don’t. That’s why I don’t understand asking cosmetic questions like that. OP should do what OP wants to do.

 

The OP doesn't know what to do that is why his seeking some help.

 

Just be careful not to damage the paint if you decided to debadge. I would take it to a shop.

 

Absolutely no need to have the shop do it, get yourself a thicker fishing line, some brake cleaner and a hairdryer or leave the car sitting in the sun all day.
I've done it on my 2014 Iridium Silver a couple of months ago and it left no marks whatsoever.

 

Half will say yes and half will no. It’s not like tune or no tune. Or 18 inch to 19 inch. OP is doing it. His choice.

 

Warm them up with heat gun of hair dryer...then use dental floss and then some goo gone or something similar
