I was back & fourth on de-badgeing. My friend from Germany convinced me stating it cleans up the rear and gives a lower stance illusion. Took me about 30 min, hairdryer, floss and goof-off followed by some nice wax. I agree it looks better.

 

Nice truck. I used compound and a DA polisher, then wax when I did mine... looks like it was never even there.

 

the big guess is f anyone can identify the truck

 

Nothing like debadging!!

 

Use a 3M eraser wheel instead of goo gone.

You will be done in less than 10 min, ZERO swirls from rubbing.

 

Thanks for the tips...i love the look of the debadged rear-end. one of the simplest and cheapest mods for a DIY job. What other cosmetic mods are guys talking about? i have an E550 2011, Charcoal Gray and was thinking of switching up the front grill.

 

Looks good. I personally have never de-badged any vehicle but some people swear by it. Glad you enjoy.

 

Great!

 

Car looks nice and clean, i might do the same. I wouldn't say it looks lower but it does look good.

Truck is a 1939 International Harvester

 

lookin good OP, if the star didnt have holes in them i wouldve removed that too.

 

or you will end up looking like this haha

 

hahaha

im trying to imagine it without the holes and it looks good in my head.
but not without the help of your body shop.

 

Holes gone- I still like it better with the Star

 

I have always debadged my vehicles. Some say it is a way of trying to hide a "lower model", but I just like the cleaner look. Especially, if the badging is asymmetrical.
I bought my wife a ML350 and the first thing she asked was "Are you going to remove the badges for me?". God- I Love That Woman!

 

...or without photoshop lol

 

ahha photoshop skills on point.

and yes , the STAR is what makes the rear end look sexy
