debadged is ok as long as you have a wide car.. blacked out badges are awesome on black cars.. not so sure on white cars though.. but i reckon it can work cos you have blacked out wheels with a chrome lip.. mind you.. you also have a chrome front grille.. maybe if you're gonna black it out.. might as well black out the front grille and the chrome parts on the doors and windows.. just my 2 cents worth mate.. do let us know what you decide and show us some pics!

the people that actually care, will already know what the car is anyway, badge or not. i prefer the back of the car to be clean, but i think black colored emblems look good on a light colored car also.

I like the no badge look. Looks clean, imho. Small side benefit is it's easier to wash. I'd also take off the star on the trunk if it wasn't pinned on. And I think the side badges don't look that great, imho. I know what I drive and don't really care about advertising it. But hey, that's just me. YMMV.
(btw, my sig shows before de-badge)

Good looking car. I like the de-badged look. It's the difference between a Ferrari and a Lamborghini.

How is the star pinned? Is it difficult to take off?

Both ways look good, black out badges for a meaner sporty lock and debagged for that clean sleek look.

black badges

I'd have to say black badges, especially for a black car, because it kind of blends into the paintwork and its still there if you look at it, its pretty visually aggressive, but if you are a keener on the super clean look, then taking them all off is cool too.
